pkg is a small platform-independent tool for building Linux
.deb or .rpm packages. Notably pkg does not depend on system
utilities like rpmbuild or the dpkg-* suite of tools.
Most of pkg's magic is provided by NFPM, pkg adds a command line wrapper and also acts as a Github Action.
Usage:
pkg [OPTIONS] [package.yaml]
Application Options:
--name= package name
--version= package version
--arch= package arch
--deb build a .deb package
--rpm build a .rpm package
Help Options:
-h, --help Show this help message
Example:
pkg --name my-package --version 1.0.0 --arch x86_64 --deb package.yaml
The package spec file contains metadata that is identical for every package.
