Just trying to get started with packaging. I started with a pretty big
app, and looking through tutorials, it seems Fedora and Redhat use
different ways to create rpms. I am a bit confused, seems complicated.
Which one will work on Fedora?
Some mentioned docs :
Fedora:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-rpm-packages/
Redhat:
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/03/18/rpm-packaging-guide-creating-rpm/
I think it would be nice if the example apps were more realistic, e.g.
considering dependencies, etc.
There are two main categories of packaging in the world of Fedora and
Red Hat:
* How we package things included with the distribution
* How users package things on their systems
The developers.redhat.com article you linked to is aimed at users doing
the latter. It is entirely valid and is part of the workflow that a lot
of admins and developers follow. But it is not how we package things
for inclusion in Fedora.
For packages that go in to the distribution, we have the packaging
policies. The Fedora packaging policy and guide are the best place to
start if you are interested in maintaining packages in Fedora or adding
new packages.
I recommend looking at any of the existing packages in the distribution
for some examples, all of those can be found on src.fedoraproject.org/rpms
