Suricata RPMs

Spec files and build infrastucture for building Suricata RPMs.

Building

Building these RPMs requires a recent Fedora or EL release with the following packages installed:

• copr
• mock

Makefile Targets

Default (all)

This target will build RPMs for all currently supported distributions using Mock.

local

Builds the RPM locally with rpmbuild. This does require that all the dependencies are installed.

$(DIST)

Build for a specific distribution supported by Mock. For example:

make epel-7-x86_64

copr-testing

Upload SRPM to the testing project on COPR.

By default this is: @oisf/suricata-${VERSION}-testing

copr-build

Upload SRPM to the release project on COPR.

By default this is: @oisf/suricata-${VERSION}

Updating for a Patch Release

Given an update from version 6.0.10 to 6.0.11, the process of an update might look like (note all commands are to be run in the directory corresponding to the version being updated):

• Edit 6.0/suricata.spec
  • Update Version to 6.0.11
  • If Release is different than 1%{?dist}, change it back to 1%{?dist}
  • Add a new entry to the top of the %changelog section
• Run: make update-sources
  • This will download the new release file and generate checksums for it
• Push to testing COPR project:
  • make copr-testing
• Monitor the build at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/oisf/suricata-6.0/monitor/
• If successful, push to the COPR release repo:
  • make copr-build
