I think that some merge between the two document could be useful.
But i have a simple question about http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo
Why it is referenced, to the end the document, only rpm5.org as a fork, probably it is because it is not the fedora rpm version but i don't know much about, if also suse or mandriva have their rpm fork and different implementation :
- fedora, suse, mandriva have different macros so interoperability is an issue
(http://www.mail-archive.com/rpm-maint@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00942.html)
- suse have "patch" rpm, different dependency capability (e.g. Obsolete can't be a capability just an example ) - in fedora we have not such restriction
- Mandriva now almost use another rpm code base of rpm 4.4.2, use some patch not upstrem now as file trigger and probably other
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Rpm_filetriggers
Not to write about other distro - PLD, ARK ecc.
Thanks in advance for your reply

Having read both, it seems to me that
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo
is more complete, though some generic information in the first case
study in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/BuildingPackagesGuide
could be used in the other page. The case studies are also interesting,
maybe what is generic in this page should be merged to the other one and
only the case studies would be left, and it would become a page with
case studies?
