Hey everyone, first message to the mailing list and a new packager in general. I've gone over the wiki and the docs but a few things are still unclear to me. 1) rpmlint complains about source0 not being a valid URL, but it rpmbuild can't find the source if I have it correct... Currently it says: Source0: https://github.com/01org/thermal_daemon/archive/v%{version}.tar.gz But when I do "rpmbuild -ba thermal_daemon.spec" (following Fedora Documentation http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/index.html ) then rpmbuild complains about: error: File /home/egriffith/rpmbuild/SOURCES/v1.30.tar.gz: No such file or directory presumably because its just looking at "v%{version}.tar.gz". What is the appropriate fix here? The upstream source is in fact: https://github.com/01org/thermal_daemon/archive/v%{version}.tar.gz (in this case v1.30.tar.gz) but the download link gives you "thermal_daemon-1.3.tar.gz" which is in my SOURCES directory. So do I rename thermal_daemon-1.3.tar.gz to be "v1.30.tar.gz" or do I modify "Source0" to not be 100% faithful to the actual URL? Or is there an override I can use to specify that the downloaded files have a different name than the upstream source URL? 2) %build section. The original spec file had 'autoreconf' the compilation instructions had ./autogen.sh. Which is the correct one to use? Current spec uses autogen.sh 3) Is a "BuildRequires: systemd" necessary or is it just redundant? 4) Can someone link or explain the Requires(post)/(preun)/(postun), same with %post, %preun, %postun 5) %files does every single file need to be listed here or just 'important ones? I left out /usr/share/src, /usr/lib and a couple others. 6) Upstream name is "thermal_daemon" but I see it packaged elsewhere as "thermald" and the binary / .service is thermald.
