But definitely, we > should not suggest plain rpmbuild IMO. It depends on who the target audience of the document is. For package maintainers looking to add another package, explaining things at the fedpkg level makes sense. But then do/should they need a "how to create an RPM package" in the first place? For newbies looking to learn packaging, the information should begin with rpmbuild. As in, there is an order in which the information needs to be presented for it to make sense to an audience that lacks knowledge of the basics. This is how we're doing the RPM related Fedora Magazine posts, for example. I've not yet had time to write the next article in the series, though. Any takers? - learn what RPM is - learn how an RPM is created - learn the packaging pipe-line Fedora has developed around RPM. https://fedoramagazine.org/rpm-packages-explained/ https://fedoramagazine.org/how-rpm-packages-are-made-the-spec-file/ https://fedoramagazine.org/how-rpm-packages-are-made-the-source-rpm/ -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
