[ANNOUNCE] PackPack - a tool to build packages from git on Travis CI

Hi everyone, I would like to announce the first version of PackPack [1] - a convenient tool to build RPM and Debian packages from git repositories: + Fast reproducible builds using Docker containers + Semantic versioning based on annotated git tags + Support for all major Linux distributions as targets PackPack performs all required steps to create Linux packages by the single command [2]: ~/gitrepo$ OS=fedora DIST=24 packpack # Build for Fedora 24 ~/gitrepo$ OS=centos DIST=7 packpack # Build for CentOS 7 ~/gitrepo$ OS=debian DIST=stretch packpack # Build for Debian Stretch ~/gitrepo$ OS=ubuntu DIST=xenial packpack # Build for Ubuntu Xenial PackPack automatically bumps version in the RPM spec, packs a source tarball, creates a source RPM and then builds binary packages. You only need to have a proper RPM spec at `rpm/` and `major.minor` annotated git tag. This tool works best with GitHub, Travis CI and PackageCloud: - Push your code to GitHub - Build packages using Travis CI - Host repositories on PackageCloud Feel it like an alternative to `copr`, but hosted on Travis CI and PackageCloud. It is also possible to use `packpack` locally on your host (see above). Please see GitHub project [1] and a demo video [3] for additional details. Your feedback is welcome ;) [1]: https://github.com/packpack/packpack [2]: https://asciinema.org/a/3unm4sw4g889ddk7tr0uettbn -- WBR, Roman Tsisyk <roman(a)tsisyk.com&gt;
