David's guide and the above guide are two different things and do not serve the same role. You can think of David's guide as a quick start, hello-world version of how to create a good package. The above listed guide is more like the C Coding Style Reference Manual. They simply aren't intended for nor useful to the same audience. And I happened to find David's guide very well written and something that I think I would point people new to rpm packaging to without problem. I would expect people new to rpm packaging to be overwhelmed and lost on the above referenced guide. -- Doug Ledford <dledford@xxxxxxxxxx> GPG KeyID: CFBFF194 http://people.redhat.com/dledford Infiniband specific RPMs available at http://people.redhat.com/dledford/Infiniband
