awscliv2-rpm

Automated RPM packaging of AWS CLI v2 using GitHub Actions

Note:- This RPM is tested on RHEL 8 and 9, but should work on any RHEL-based distribution. The spec file is configured to install the AWS CLI in /usr/aws-cli and create a symlink at /usr/bin/aws for easy access.

Building the RPM locally

1. ./check_for_new_installer - download the installer and update various metadata files
2. ./respecit - update the spec file to match the downloaded version
3. docker-compose build builder - create the builder image
4. docker-compose run builder ./rebuildit - rebuild the RPM
5. docker-compose run tester ./retestit - test installing the RPM

This should result in:

• no-source RPM: SRPMS/awscliv2-${VERSION}-${RELEASE}.nosrc.rpm
• installable RPM: RPMS/x86_64/awscliv2-${VERSION}-${RELEASE}.x86_64.rpm
