This GitHub Action builds RPMs from spec file and using repository contents as source (wraps the rpmbuild utility). Integrates easily with GitHub actions to allow RPMS to be uploaded as Artifact (actions/upload-artifact) or as Release Asset (actions/upload-release-asset).
Create a workflow .yml
file in your repositories .github/workflows
directory. An example workflow is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for Creating a workflow file.
Note: You need to have a spec file in order to build RPM.
spec_file
: The path to the spec file in your repo. [required]additional_repos
: A list of additional repositories (in JSON-array format) that you want enabled to build your rpm. [optional]
rpm_dir_path
: path to RPMS directorysource_rpm_path
: path to Source RPM filesource_rpm_dir_path
: path to SRPMS directorysource_rpm_name
: name of Source RPM filerpm_content_type
: Content-type for RPM Upload
This generated RPMS and SRPMS can be used in two ways.
- Upload as build artifact
You can use GitHub Action
@actions/upload-artifact
- Upload as Release assest
If you want to upload as release asset ,You also will need to have a release to upload your asset to, which could be created programmatically by
@actions/create-release
as show in the example workflow.
Basic:
name: RPM Build
on: push
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: build RPM package
id: rpm
uses: naveenrajm7/rpmbuild@master
with:
spec_file: "cello.spec"
additional_repos: "['centos-release-scl', 'https://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/redhat/0.1-3/percona-release-0.1-3.noarch.rpm']"
- name: Upload artifact
uses: actions/[email protected]
with:
name: Binary RPM
path: ${{ steps.rpm.outputs.rpm_dir_path }}
This workflow triggered on every push
, builds RPM and Source RPM using cello.spec and contents of that git ref that triggered that action. Contents are retrived through GitHub API [downloaded through archive link].
The generated RPMs or SRPMS can be uploaded as artifacts by using actions/upload-artifact. The outputs given by rpmbuild action can be used to specify path for upload action.
Use with Release:
on:
push:
# Sequence of patterns matched against refs/tags
tags:
- 'v*' # Push events to matching v*, i.e. v1.0, v20.15.10
name: Create RPM Release
jobs:
build:
name: Create RPM Release
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@master
- name: Create Release
id: create_release
uses: actions/create-release@latest
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # This token is provided by Actions, you do not need to create your own token

Example Repository which uses rpmbuild action https://github.com/naveenrajm7/cello
Note on distribution: If your RPMs are distribution specific like el7 or el8.
- Use naveenrajm7/rpmbuild@master for Centos7 [el7]
- Use naveenrajm7/rpmbuild@centos8 for Centos8 [el8]
- name: build RPM package
id: rpm_build
uses: naveenrajm7/rpmbuild@centos8
with:
spec_file: "cello.spec"
