So I guess I am arguing that while the "new package for existing
maintainers" remain at the `fedpkg` level of doing things, the "join
the
package collection maintainer" page for newbies, who should not be
assumed to have prior knowledge about rpm, should start at the
`rpmbuild` level and promote them to `fedpkg` when they reach the
"import to SCM" steps.
I don't agree. I can probably count on one hand the number of times
I've used rpmbuild directly in the past five years. fedpkg is much
simpler, and simple is what we should be promoting to new packagers.
We can all have our own preferred workflow, nothing wrong with that.
But the newcomers guide should be as simple as possible. Learning
packaging is complex and the fewer tools that new packagers need to
learn, the better.
