GENRPM(8)

NAME
genrpm

SYNOPSIS
genrpm [-sv] package ...

DESCRIPTION
The genrpm program takes an installed pkgsrc package and creates a Redhat Package Manager package from that, optionally creating an RPM-style src RPM in addition. If the -v option is specified, genrpm will carry out its work in a verbose manner (the rpm utility is already a fairly verbose utility).

Package version extension will be done automatically by genrpm so that rpm packages do not need to know the individual version numbers of pkgsrc packages.

An optional source rpm package can also be created by using the -s flag.
