I think the following resources would make a decent starting point and reference: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/BuildingPackagesGuide http://rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/ http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ There are also many good things to learn about packaging (both how and why) in reading: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines and the docs linked within that. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Man has made use of his intelligence, he invented stupidity. -- Remy De Gourmant
