Apache Cassandra rpmbuild

Requirements:

The build system needs to have Apache Cassandra ant artifacts build dependencies installed.
Since Apache Cassandra depends on Python 2.7, the earliest version supported is RHEL/CentOS 7.0.

Step 1:

Build and copy sources to build tree:

ant artifacts -Drelease=true

Step 2:

Since there is no version specified in the SPEC file, one needs to be passed at rpmbuild time (example with 4.0):

mkdir -p build/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SPECS,SRPMS}
rpmbuild --define="version 4.0" \
    --define="revision $(date +"%Y%m%d")git$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)%{?dist}" \
    --define "_topdir $(pwd)/build/rpmbuild" \
    --define "_sourcedir $(pwd)/build" \
    -ba redhat/cassandra.spec

Use revision value in the example above for git based snapshots. Change to --define="revision 1" for non-snapshot releases.

RPM files can be found in their respective build tree directories:

ls -l build/rpmbuild/{SRPMS,RPMS}/

Hint:

Don't build packages as root..
