Yes, absolutely. I read them (and many other pages) completely before developing "CreatingPackageHowTo". Neither is a tutorial on how to create Fedora RPMs; they both presume you _already_ know how to create Fedora RPM packages. The available tutorials are not very helpful, either. Most (e.g, "Maximum RPM" and "RPM Guide") are out of date and omit much of the Fedora-specific stuff that's important if you're creating a Fedora package. For example, how do I encode the "License:" value in Fedora, properly? I'm all for creating portable RPMs, but a tutorial needs to include the information necessary to easily comply with Fedora's key rules. Otherwise, you end up wasting a lot of time tracking that stuff down. Both SuSE and Mandriva have both switched to using a Wiki to maintain their RPM tutorials. Presumably, that's so they can be kept up-to-date and include the distro specifics. --- David A.
