I'm thinking about pushing the next version of rpmdevtools out soonish. It's tentatively versioned 5.0 to coincide with the oldest version of FC (and incidentally RHEL) it's meant to work with. The major thing I'm planning for in this release is dropping hardcoded "fedora-" prefix everywhere, including from the package name. Very few things in the package are actually Fedora specific, at least after the changes I'm planning, see below. And it's just annoying in executables and looks kind of silly. I've done some research and haven't found things that would conflict with the renaming plan. The other significant thing is to clean up pre-FC5 stuff from the existing spec templates (IIRC python only needs that?) because there have been and will be some new templates added (ruby, php-*) that won't work with older distro versions anyway. This new version would be pushed to FC5+ only. Action items below, comments welcome. --- Package rename (with appropriate Provides/Obsoletes for a while): * fedora-rpmdevtools -> rpmdevtools General layout: * /etc/fedora -> /etc/rpmdevtools * /usr/share/fedora -> /usr/share/rpmdevtools Rename scripts (with appropriate backwards compat symlinks for a while): * fedora-buildrpmtree -> buildrpmtree * fedora-diffarchive -> diffarchive * fedora-extract -> extractarchive * fedora-md5 -> rpmmd5 * fedora-newrpmspec -> newrpmspec * fedora-rmdevelrpms -> rmdevelrpms * fedora-rpmchecksig -> rpmchecksig * fedora-rpminfo -> rpminfo * fedora-rpmvercmp -> rpmvercmp * fedora-wipebuildtree -> wiperpmtree Move: * spec templates to /etc/rpmdevtools (+ mark as %config (TBD: not noreplace?)) * emacs/fedora-init.el -> rpmdevtools-init.el (drop emacs/) * TBD: template.init as %doc to /usr/share/doc/rpmdevtools-*/ (it's not being used by any scripts that I know of) Drop: * fedora-installdevkeys, all GPG keys * fedora-kmodhelper Package: * Migrate rmdevelrpms.conf in %post to new location if it exists when upgrading (TBD: and has changed?) Clean up: * Pre-FC5 compat from python spec template Code: * Refer to renamed things, not backwards compat links everywhere -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
