GitHub Action - RPM Build

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).

Usage

Pre-requisites

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.

This generated RPMS and SRPMS can be used in two ways.

1. Upload as build artifact You can use GitHub Action @actions/upload-artifact
2. 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.
