Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I did a quick spec review but I didn't download the source. I've made some tweaks to your spec and added comments. Also note that while rpmdev-newspec and even vi will create default spec files that contain unnecessary sections and tags as long as you're not building for Fedora < 14 or EL < 6, such as: BuildRoot: rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in %install %clean entirely %defattr in %files sections. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34775202/peksystray.spec Richard -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
