Fpm

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Add 'tar' source support. Useful for binary releases to repackage as rpms and debs. Example::

fpm -s tar -t rpm -n firefox -v 4.0.1 --prefix /opt/firefox/4.0.1 firefox-4.0.1.tar.bz2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Use --replaces as "Obsoletes" in rpms.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* If present, DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME environment variables will be used as the default maintainer. Previously the default was simply <$user$hostname> https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/37
* Add '--replaces' flag for specifying packages replaced by the one you are building. This only functions in .deb packages now until I find a suitable synonym in RPM.
* Add --python-bin and --python-easyinstall flags. This lets you choose specific python and easy_install tools to use when building. Default is simply 'python' and 'easy_install' respectively.
* Add support for ~/.fpmrc - The format of this file is the same as the flags. One flag per line. https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/38. Example::

--python-bin=/usr/bin/python2.7
--python-easyinstall=/usr/bin/easy_install2.7
