I'll add this to the docs pages when I find time. It can go in the
"prepare your system" section:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-rpm-packages/#preparing-your-system-to-create-rpm-packages
It'll be easier for newbies to transition to fedpkg + dist-git after the
package is approved if they use a similar layout right from the start.
Would anyone else have the cycles to review/update these pages in the
meantime please?
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-rpm-packages/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/create-hello-world-rpm/
(I don't see any other package building related pages there)
