I'm kinda redesigning how my company's infrastructure is. Part of that is moving away from source installs on individual machines to using a yum repo, building our own packages, and using puppet for configuration management.
I'm starting to build our own rpms now and one thing I'm having issues with are upgrading packages and how to go about doing this. I thought fpm would make building rpms a ton simpler, and it helps some, but it doesn't exactly take away all the work. I feel like instead of just building a spec file I'm now just feeding the spec files commands into fpm.
Any help on upgrading packages?
