I am happy to say the last rpm I had to create was back during 2.5 development

there's by now a better tool to help create an rpm from scratch, something more
intuitive than the man page in one window and vi in the other.
Is there?
Sounds like NO, there has been progress in documentation since 2.5 days, but sounds like it all has to be created
by hand in terms of scripts, spec files, etc. Thanks, but if it hasn't gotten less time consuming in 12-15 years,
let it be someone else's time.
Thanks much for the pointer to better documentation, that has improved
oh come on this is laughable
take a existing SPEC and change the sources
leave the %files empty and after teh first
build you get a complete list of unpacked files
start a new package by hand usausally takes 2-5 minutes
Your use of "new package" and "existing SPEC" in the same answer makes me sure
you haven't understood the question. Since "RPMcreator" isn't in any recent
Redhat release I can find, nor on any of the usual other sites, I assume there
is another tool used, I just want the name of the tool!
Several people in various chat rooms have said "use the GUI" in various ways,
but can't remember the name of the tool. Search engines don't so well with "it
was RPM-something" or "it's on the system menu, called create rpm" so I had
hopes of a better answer.
Sorry I haven't explained it clearly, but I think most people understood and
just didn't have the answer.
