There's Source, Source0, and sources. What are the definitions? The tutorial doesn't have a 'sources' tag. Is that documented? What should it be? The hello tutorial has the URL to the tarball in Source: but it also says to use wget to download the tarball. The Source: tag doesn't have a list of files, just a pointer to the tarball. Maybe I'm way off and the source files should be in a local directory? When I run the tutorial, it seems to ignore the .spec URLs and uses the local tarball. How does it even know what the name is? Does it default to the file name of the URL? How does it know what to build. Does it default to configure;make or something similar? > -----Original Message----- > From: Artur Frenszek-Iwicki <suve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2023 11:43 AM > To: devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: fedpkg: Failed to get repository name from Git url > or > pushurl > > > Should that tutorial work?
