# OpenRazer on RedHat 8.4
## building rpm
Basically follow the steps for Fedora listed here: https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer/wiki/Building-a-package
Steps
sudo dnf install rpm-build rpmdevtools
rpmdev-setuptree
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openrazer/OBS-packaging/master/openrazer.spec
# To build from custom sources, pause here to edit openrazer.spec:
# Replace the line with "#define gitcommit" with "%define gitcommit $yourcommit"
# Optionally you will have to edit the first "Source0:" line to point to a different repository than openrazer/openrazer.
spectool -g -R openrazer.spec
sudo dnf -y builddep openrazer.spec
rpmbuild -bb openrazer.spec
sudo dnf install ../RPMS/noarch/*.rpm
Issues
I have python 3.6 amd 3.8 installed, rpmbuild took wrong version in order to fix this add this define to override python_sitelib:
%define python3_sitelib /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages
#define gitcommit 7c353f9c8f1439bce5396218331c412eae0c2563
I could not find a python3-daemonize package in redhat yum repository. But that does not matter, actually I think I do not need the daemon anyway. Most frontends only require the driver. So you could remove that requirement if you want to get it installed then install daemonize via pip3 for example.
xautomation
I created this specfile to build xautomation rpm (again I do not make use of it ... but at that time thought I might require the dependency)
# use spectool to download source:
# spectool -g -R xautomation.spec
%define python3_sitelib /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages
%define debug_package %{nil}
