Hello, I am trying to make a rpm out of the following application: https://github.com/apandada1/typhoon but my spec file, created from looking at the batti.spec file looks for a desktop file, rather than a desktop.in file. What I don't understand is where it figures out how to look for a desktop file. Any suggestions/help? I don't have a lot of experience with rpmbuild and spec files. Here is the spec file: $ fpaste typhoon.spec Uploading (1.4KiB)... http://ur1.ca/n4lhh -> http://paste.fedoraproject.org/244462/14369268 And here is the error that I am getting: $rpmbuild -bb
