How to build kibana RPM from source code using only preinstalled local tools

Elastic Stack Kibana

Questions

  1. How can I build Kibana RPM (only RPM, nothing else is required) using only local tools (build dependencies) that are preinstalled?
    • I want to use --skip-node-download or --prefer-offline (assume that you have all the necessary build tools preinstalled locally, so there is no need to have an internet connection to download further tools)
    • Issue in building Kibana rpm 7.0.1 from src
  2. Is it possible to build this particular RPM from step 1.) without any direct in-code intervention(s)?
    • an elastic discussion noted that there is a need to disable the SHA SUM verification (getNodeShasums)

This is something we really tried before and configured for. With the change to Bazel i think it could be doable once you have the cache in place after bootstrapping once.
