I’m a newbie and I’m trying to write a python script to build rpm packages as part of an automated build system (Hudson).
I’m looking at the rpm-python API but I can’t seem to see anything that relates to rpmbuild.
Am I missing something or is there no way to build an rpm package through the rpm api’s? I was hoping I wouldn’t have to call rpmbuild from the shell because the build process involves different platforms such as Solaris, and I wanted the script to be portable.
Thanks.
Debian includes python bindings for rpm allowing you to use rpm from python scripts
