Unofficial script to create an RPM package of VisualVM.
Open a terminal in the repo directory and run ./create-package.sh
When a new version of visualvm is released:
- Download the updated script from github (pull this repository).
- Run the script to get the updated version.
- Fedora 30
- Fedora 31
It may work on other RPM-based distributions but I haven't tested it.
The rpmdevtools package is required to build RPM packages and use the script. If it's not installed, the script will offer to install it.
Building an RPM package with root privileges is dangerous, see http://serverfault.com/questions/10027/why-is-it-bad-to-build-rpms-as-root.
