MakeMKV-Spec-for-Fedora

This is for the spec file to be able to create SRPMs and RPMs of MakeMKV for Fedora. The MakeMKV RPMs are built with mock.

• Install the rpmdevtools and mock packages

• Add yourself to the "mock" group, log out, log in again

• Setup RPM Fusion repository

  sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

• Setup rpmfusion for mock

  sudo dnf install mock-rpmfusion-free.noarch mock-rpmfusion-nonfree.noarch

• Clone this repo and cd into the cloned directory

  git clone https://github.com/djotaku/Makemkv-Spec-for-Fedora.git
  cd Makemkv-Spec-for-Fedora

• Build and Install the RPM package

  This will also pull the current beta key from the MakeMKV website and write it to the configuration file for registration.

  chmod +x update.sh
  ./update.sh

Updating MakeMKV

For future updates of MakeMKV, run the update script (provided this repository was updated for the updated version).

./update.sh

Updating the Beta Key

In case the Key runs out before there is a new update, you can also disable building and installing the RPM to only update the key by using the --nobuild argument

./update.sh --nobuild

Deprecated steps

Note: These steps are not required anymore, as they have been integrated into the aforementioned update script. These are purely for reference in case you run into issues with the script (change version numbers accordingly).

• Download the makemkv bin and oss tarballs

  spectool -g makemkv.spec

• Build the RPM packages (as a user in the "mock" group)

  mock -r fedora-33-x86_64-rpmfusion_nonfree --sources=. --spec=makemkv.spec

• Copy the resulting .rpm from the results directory that it prints out to your current directory

  cp /var/lib/mock/fedora-33-x86_64/result/makemkv-1.16.3-1.fc33.*.rpm .

• Install the .x86_64.rpm from the results directory and enjoy

  sudo dnf install makemkv-1.16.3-1.fc33.x86_64.rpm
