Hi, For several applications/tools I'd like to create an RPM to make maintenance easier. However some of these come without a Makefile (usually just untar in the correct directory). For others I'd like to add some additional (configuration) files and such. According to the maximum rpm book it is recommended to keep patches and such separate from the original sources (pristine sources). But so far I've been unable to find an explanation on how exactly to set this up. I've download the httpd source rpm and noticed that it contains some additional files in the SOURCES directory which have been added as additional "SourceX" lines in the spec file. These are installed by additional "install" commands in the spec file. Is this the recommended approach? Is there a way to group these files somehow? After installing the httpd source rpm the SOURCE dir was filled with files with no way to determin which were related to the httpd package wand which not.
