Joseph L. Casale: See this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package There are a few pointers you should get used to and after a few you'll be fine. Don't build as root, do something like this: yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config rpmdevtools useradd rpmbuilder su - rpmbuilder echo "timestamping = on" >.wgetrc rpmdev-setuptree The vim-common package also provides a template spec, but I would suggest downloading some srpm's and extracting them and looking at the specs they have. wget
Kaushal Shriyan: Thanks Joseph for the reply with lucid explanation. really appreciated and will definitely post questions to this mailing list if i get into any issues. Regards Kaushal Kaushal
Keith Roberts: Hi Kaushal. You might also find the RPM documentation usefull. http://rpm.org/wiki/Docs#UserDocumentation I found this guide was very helpfull: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/ The bit about signing packages is out of date, it was written using PGP, but that is now replaced with GPG. Apart from that it is a pretty good guide to using RPM, and how to build packages as well. Kind Regards, Keith ----------------------------------------------------------- Websites: http://www.karsites.net
