Hi all, I am trying to package my first rpm. After the appearance of Inventor in fedora.us my "natural" choice is OpenMOIV (http://www.tecn.upf.es/openMOIV/) since it is a 3D molecular visualization library used by several products of my company and it is based on Inventor. Of course, I read most documents about packaging at fedora.us and rpm.org, and studied some other spec files, but I still have some questions. In particular my biggest doubt is about BuildRequires: for compilation, the upstream authors provides either a cmake file (but AFAIK we do not have a cmake package) or a qmake .pro file, so I guess I have three options. 1. lobbying for inclusion of cmake 2. use qmake then make in the %build section 3. Include a pre-generated Makefile now 1 does not seems to be a short term solution (besides, did anyone ever propose cmake as a new package??) 2 seems to me the most obvious option but this raises another question: what should I put in BuildRequires?? qmake, qt-devel or what? 3 would make sense but I guess it will be detrimental to the package configurability (my chosen options will be hardcoded in the Makefile). Moreover, how would I deal with the additional file in the .spec?? Of course I guess I will have more questions in the future, but maybe this is enough for now... Thanks in advance Gianluca
