My advice: - Start reading <http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/>. - Browse through some spec files, e.g. by going to the Fedora directory with 4200+ src.rpm's and get all the spec files like this: mkdir /tmp/specs for f in *.src.rpm; do rpm2cpio $f | (cd /tmp/specs; cpio -iuvdm '*.spec') done - Start experimenting and ask questions on a mailing list.
Add to that: - subscribe to fedora-package-review list, so you get an idea of the common mistakes a beginner does. This is even more useful if you need a sponsor, since you are supposed to do some reviews (partial, full, just comments, etc) in order to show your understanding of the guidelines. PS. btw, webim was already submitted for review in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184080 you may want to contact the original submitter and start from his spec file. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
