Automated RPM Packaging for Ghostty

Build tools

# rpmbuild tools
$ dnf install gcc rpm-build rpm-devel rpmlint make python bash coreutils diffutils patch rpmdevtools
# Ghostty requires this version of zig docs are built with pandoc
# Sources ar
# Fetch github releases using the CLI, releases are signed with `minisign`

Build Steps

1. Grab sources with spectool -R -g SPECS/ghostty.spec
2. Run rpmbuild -bs SPECS/ghostty.spec to create the .src.rpm

• Alternatively run rpmbuild -bb SPECS/ghostty.spec with the build dependencies

3. Run mock --enable-network SRPMS/<generated src.rpm from step 2>
4. Results available as output from mock, the output directory can be configured

Reproducible builds

As we need to fetch zig package manager dependencies that are statically linked as build dependencies, a network dependency can compromise reproducible builds.
