Hello, all -
I was hoping that someone could share with me a list of good solid links
that explain the process for packaging RPMs, including the creation of
.spec files from scratch.
I've been asked to create RPMs for some in-house software, but have
never done this before. The only information that I am able to gather
is either 2-3 years old, or entirely too vague. Even
http://www.rpm.org, the clearinghouse for what should be thought of as
the ultimate guide to RPM information, is vague. Kinda bums me out.
If this means even going out to buy a book, I'd be happy to do so. I
just need to see if I can get more information on this subject.
I've gone through a couple different .spec files from miscellaneous RPM
files to try to get the hang of it, but I just can't hack it.
Again, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
