Python Binary RPM Packager

This automation tooling generates a single file binary from a given Python application using pyInstaller, it then moves the binary to its expected path (/opt/example/binary), and using fpm, a package (.rpm) is generated containing basic metadata (as defined in Makefile). In addition to that, a temporarily local yum repository is created under /repo where the previously generated .rpm is added to. Finally, this repository is synced with an S3 bucket.

The directory scripts/ contains the post-install and post-uninstall actions, this boilerplate contains all necessary set of commands so your application can be make use of systemd service manager.

Where to improve?

• More parameters!
• Forget about yum repo, send .rpm to private bucket instead. Have another tool to fetch packages from this bucket and populate (incrementally) a yum repository (another public bucket?)
• Consider more packages types (.deb?)
• Systemd support should be optional (parameterized)
