Description: Effing Package Management
Preface
Package maintainers work hard and take a lot of shit. You can t please everyone. So, if you re a maintainer: Thanks for maintaining packages!
What is fpm?
It helps you build packages quickly and easily (Packages like RPM and DEB formats).
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE: IF FPM IS NOT HELPING YOU MAKE PACKAGES EASILY, THEN THERE IS A BUG IN FPM.
Here is a presentation I gave on fpm at BayLISA: http://goo.gl/sWs3Z (I included speaker notes you can read, too)
At BayLISA in April 2011, I gave a talk about fpm. At the end, I asked "What can I package for you?"
Someone asked for memcached.
Google for memcached , download the source, unpack, ./configure, make, make install, fpm, deploy.
In 60 seconds, starting from nothing, I had both an RPM and a .DEB of memcached ready to deploy, and I didn t need to know how to use rpmbuild, rpm specfiles, dh_make, debian control files, etc.
