I am trying to deploy a Redis server in Linux.

The Redis official site provides source code to download, so I have to use 'make' to install Radis.

The 'make' works, but my problem is how can I use rpm file to install it? Because of policy, I must obey the policy of software installation for this specific environment. The policy also bother me to install other software by making source code.

What is your opinion? Thanks!

Its actually really easy to generate an rpm file if you have the source and makescripts, for example you can use rpmbuild. The exact procedure depends on your distro of course, but this one worked for me: The basics of building RPM Packages from fedoraproject.org.

However I've not worked with redis yet, but it's certainly worth a look.

Also you may be able to find what you need directly here: a search for redis on rpmfind.net
