If there is anything in Moblin that I'd like Fedora to consider adopting, it is specbuilder. Specbuilder is basically the (start of) an autopackaging tool, where we try to automatically generate packaging for a class of upstream projects. The class we're focusing on is those upstream packages that use autoconf/automake/etc and use pkgconfig. For these packages we have a very small .ini file with some basic metadata (which we're trying to autogenerate at much as possible as well), which specbuilder then turns into a .spec file for building. These ini files are relatively small and simple, and can mostly be autogenerated. The result is a very consistent set of rpms, and we're working on being able to generate other packaging formats from this same minimal metadata as well.... For example the ini file for the Intel IIG graphics driver package looks like this: [header] Summary = Xorg X11 Intel video driver Name = xorg-x11-drv-intel LocaleName = xorg-x11-drv-intel Version = 2.7.0 Release = 1 Group = User Interface/X Hardware Support License = MIT URL = http://www.x.org/ Files = xorg-x11-drv-intel.files Requires = xorg-x11-server-Xorg hwdata SubPackages = devel tools [configuration] Sources = http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-video-intel-%{version}.tar.bz2 PkgConfig = xorg-server libdrm xf86driproto xvmc gl x11 xproto fontsproto randrproto renderproto xextproto glproto xineramaproto xi dri2proto xext configure = reconfigure ConfigOptions = --enable-dri Patches = regdumper.patch copy-fb.patch biosdumper.patch [devel] Summary = Xorg X11 Intel video driver XvMC development package Group = Development/System Files = xorg-x11-drv-intel-devel.files [tools] Summary = Xorg X11 Intel video driver diagnostics tools Group = Development/System Files = xorg-x11-drv-intel-tools.files -- Arjan van de Ven Intel Open Source Technology Centre For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
