Building RPMs with FPM

fpm ruby 1.9.2 rpm build

# Packaging ruby with fpm is a bit meta
# You need ruby install to use fpm
# I used an RVM install on a VM install fpm in a packaging gemset

# Install EPEL if you don't have it already
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

# Install deps for ruby build
yum install rpm-build readline-devel.x86_64 libffi-devel.x86_64 libyaml-devel.x86_64 zlib-devel.x86_64 openssl-devel.x86_64
