Hi,

This will create two packages, probably not what you want, right ?

No, it will only create plasma-widget-x2go because there is no plain "%files" section.

Why not simply name the package plasma-widget-x2go ?

Because the Fedora Naming Guidelines ties naming it to up upstream tarball name or project name. The upstream source tarball and project is x2goplasmabindings. They seem to do this because they have x2gognomebindings, x2golxdebindings, etc. I have yet checked the name of the binary packages produced from them.

It only means you can't use %{name} in the Source tag, am I missing something ?

And of course you'd have to tweak your %setup with the right params.

I'm starting to package more of the X2Go stuff and running into some
Debianisms.  Namely different source and binary package names.  For example:

The source package "x2goplasmabingings" with source tarball
x2goplasmabindings-3.0.1.5.tar.gz produces a binary package called
"plasma-widget-x2go" (which matches the way other plasma widgets are named).

So, is a package like:

Name:           x2goplasmabindings
Summary:        Plasma widget for control X2go sessions

%description
%description -n plasma-widget-x2go
X2go is a server-based computing environment with
     - session resuming
     - low bandwidth support
     - LDAP support
     - client side mass storage mounting support
     - audio support
     - authentication by smartcard and USB stick

This package adds a plasma widget (KDE4) for controlling your X2go session.

%package -n plasma-widget-x2go
Summary:        %{summary}

%description -n plasma-widget-x2go
X2go is a server-based computing environment with
     - session resuming
     - low bandwidth support
     - LDAP support
     - client side mass storage mounting support

This package adds a plasma widget (KDE4) for controlling your X2go session.

%files -n plasma-widget-x2go -f plasma_applet_x2goplasmoid.lang
...


Okay?  Is there a way to avoid repeating the description?
