State: closed
Merged: Yes

This PR adds preliminary support for generating RPM packages for a .NET Core project.

Included is:

Support for generating a cpio file (which is the format used for the RPM payload) based on the output of dotnet publish. The Linux file modes (rwx for the various groups) are determined based on the file types, even on Windows.
Support for reading and writing .rpm files, including the signature, header (metadata) and payload
Support for generating a .rpm package for a ASP.NET Core using the dotnet rpm command

This has been tested by creating a RPM package for the demo ASP.NET project included in this repository, on Windows, and installing that package on CentOS 7.

Because RPM files use xz compression, lzma is a requirement. lzma.dll is included for x64 Windows; for other OS'es, it is assumed that lzma is already present or installed via the package manager.
