Package Generation

It is very common the need for the generation of customized ModSecurity packages. The need for custom package may be a consequence of the need for new version of ModSecurity, that is not yet available on a given distribution. Or a simple need for a version with specifics configurations/build options.

In this Wiki page, we collect information given by the community on how to generate the packages. Including the packages recipes.

Rpm Packages

The rpm package recipe is available here: https://gist.github.com/zimmerle/a2b069f0099c90c142e8#file-0d90c84a7a89d26b9cffb4f987342185fe482118-patch

In order to generate the package, you can use the following (assuming you saved the Gist as mod_security.spec):

$ rpmbuild mod_security.spec

This should download the source for the version specified in the .spec file, build it, and yield a valid RPM package in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS that you can install using

$ yum localinstall ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/mod_security.rpm

If you choose to install with RPM directly, you'll need to manage dependencies. Newer versions of Fedora use DNF, which supposedly works the same - replace 'yum' with 'dnf' when you install.

The RPM package generation was a contribution from @antonyh, through the pull request #1052.
