Packaging simple files

For this example, I'll show how to package hudson/jenkins which is a 1-file download.

My Makefile:

NAME=jenkins
VERSION=1.396

.PHONY: package
package:
  rm -f jenkins.war
  wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/hudson/war/$(VERSION)/jenkins.war
  fpm -s dir -t deb -n $(NAME) -v $(VERSION) --prefix /opt/jenkins jenkins.war

Running it:

% make
rm -f jenkins.war
wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/hudson/war/1.396/jenkins.war

Delicious.

Note: wget needs to be installed for this to work.
