Build current js-devel for CentOS

This repository is a fork of http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/js.git/

The default spec file in Fedora doesn't provide libjs.so.1 needed for installation in CentOS/RHEL, so I've forked that repository for explicitly building a js185 that provides required dependencies.

Building on Host OS

• If not already installed, install and configure system for building rpms. Instructions
• Copy contents of this repo to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
• Fetch sources
  • spectool -g -R js.spec
• Build SRPM
  • rpmbuild -bs js.spec
• Install dependencies
  • sudo yum-builddep js-1.8.5-15.el6.src.rpm
• Rebuild rpm
  • rpmbuild --rebuild js-1.8.5-15.el6.src.rpm
• Install rpm
  • sudo rpm {-ihv | -U} ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/js-devel-1.8.5-15.el6.i386.rpm

Building Using Mock

• Install mock
  • Notes on mock usage
• CentOS build
  • copy centos-6-i386.cfg and centos-6-x86_64.cfg to /etc/mock/
• Checkout js sources from Fedora Project
  • git clone https://github.com/wendall911/js185.git
• Fetch sources
  • spectool -g -R -C ./ js.spec
• Build SRPM
  • sudo mock -r epel-6-x86_64 --buildsrpm --sources ./ --spec ./js.spec
• Copy generated SRPM to working directory
  • cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/js-1.8.5-15.el6.centos.src.rpm ./
• Install dependencies
  • sudo mock -r epel-6-x86_64 --installdeps js-1.8.5-14.el6.src.rpm
• Build RPM
  • sudo mock -r epel-6-x86_64 rebuild js-1.8.5-14.el6.src.rpm
• Copy built RPMS to working directory
  • cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/js-devel-1.8.5-14.el6.x86_64.rpm ./
  • cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/js-debuginfo-1.8.5-14.el6.x86_64.rpm ./
  • cp /var/lib/mock/epel-6-x86_64/result/js-1.8.5-14.el6.x86_64.rpm ./
• Install js RPMS into chroot environment
  • sudo mock -r epel-6-x86_64 --install js-1.8.5-14.el6.x86_64.rpm
  • sudo mock -r epel-6-x86_64 --install js-devel-1.8.5-14.el6.x86_64.rpm

Target Server Installation
