https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409780 --- Comment #5 from Ralf Senderek <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Just a few comments to help you write a more comprehensible spec file: You have to make yourself familiar with the packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines and the packaging naming guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming?rd=Packaging:NamingGuidelines I'd recommend to go through you package's spec file and also through the list of files your package would contain, and ask yourself if everything complies with these two documents. Then I'd think that you'd get rid of all unnecessary global variables and most of the conditional statements in your spec file. Please start to write comments above a conditional that clearly states why you need it, and if you cannot come up with a convincing reason get rid of it. Some - if not most things - will be done unconditionally in a spec file. Try to find out what level of complexity is necessary for your packaging project and start building sub-packages only if there is a reason for it. It's easier to convince a sponsor to help you get your package approved if you can show that you understand why you introduced a complexity into your spec file instead of starting from an unnecessary complex template that does not fit your project. Keep updating your spec file and I wish you the best of luck to find a sponsor. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
