💅 NAME 💅

okay so rpmdev-packager — it's the manual page for rpmdev-packager version 1.3, and it basically figures out who you are so your RPM packages get the right name attached. very main character of it, honestly ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rpmdev-packager [option]...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: rpmdev-packager guesses your rpm packager info by snooping around a bunch of different sources, bestie. it's like a detective but the case is "who is this person and what's their email" 🕵️‍♀️

here's the full list of places it checks:

  • $RPM_PACKAGER — pulled from the environment (full name + email address)
  • %packager — pulled from rpm configuration (full name + email address)
  • certificates — like ~/.fedora.cert (email address)
  • git — pulled from git configuration (user.name + user.email)
  • $MAILTO — pulled from the environment (email address)
  • /etc/passwd — the gecos field (full name, username)

ngl that's a whole lot of sources but it's giving thorough 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows the help message and dips. simple as that 💅
  • -v, --version — prints version information and exits. that's the whole job 🎀

🫶 REPORTING BUGS 🫶

found a bug? bestie please tell someone, don't just suffer in silence 😭
