- Migrate from legacy shell-based build system to modern Python tooling
- Update all metadata.yaml files to new schema with per-distro builds
- Standardise build scripts with curl -L, envsubst, and error handling
- Convert nfpm.yaml templates to use environment variable substitution
- Update Dockerfile to accept all package metadata as build arguments
- Modernise Makefile to use new Python build tool commands
- Update CI workflow to use tools/build instead of make
- Replace Makefile version/release file system with metadata.yaml only
- Add Python build automation (./tools/build) with Gitea API integration
- Add GitHub release updater (./tools/update-gh) for version management
- Centralize Dockerfiles into single parameterized Dockerfile
- Remove 54+ individual package Dockerfiles and version directories
- Update Makefile to use new Python tooling
- Add GITEA_API_TOKEN validation to prevent duplicate builds
- Support both explicit version/release args and metadata.yaml reading
Add simplified metadata structure for all 41 packages containing:
- Package name, version, and release number
- GitHub repository for packages with GitHub releases
- Build configuration for el/8 and el/9 distributions
This metadata enables future automation for version checking and package building across different distributions.
Standardize all RPM packages to use a consistent build pattern:
- Simple Dockerfiles that copy resources/ and call build.sh
- Move all build logic to resources/build.sh scripts
- Consolidate nfpm.yaml and scripts into resources/ directory
- Update base image to almalinux9-rpmbuilder for consistency
Changes:
- Refactored 37 packages total (simple + complex)
- HashiCorp tools: consul, vault, terraform, terragrunt, packer, nomad, nomad-autoscaler
- Development tools: g10k, etcd, nfpm, ruff, uv, unrar, nzbget, boilerplate
- VictoriaMetrics: vlutils, vmutils, victoria-logs
- Network tools: cni-plugins, consul-cni, unkin-ca-certificates
- Jellyfin suite: jellyfin-web, jellyfin-server, jellyfin-ffmpeg-bin
- System packages: puppet-initial, incus
This standardization improves maintainability and consistency across
the entire RPM build system while preserving all existing functionality.
