Hi Andrew, This is a very good initiative. I have been working with very complex rpms within modern automated build environments for quite some time and have developed some key skills in this area. Also developed understanding in various perspective of those interested to just get started. I am happy to help you with this.

It is not going to go into the same sort of depth as the Fedora "RPM Guide" - it will only be about 100 pages - but will be the sort of book that someone who roughly knows what they are doing can dip into to remind themselves of this or that detail, and perhaps come away with some nugget of information they hadn't realized they needed. It will basically be in two halves: the first part will cover use of RPM and YUM as a system administrator (including setting up a YUM repository), while the second part will cover building RPMs. > > If you would like to help, please email me at A.Ford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I expect to be at a stage to start putting material out for review in four or five weeks, and delivery is planned for the end of July. > > Thanks > Andrew > > -- > Andrew Ford > South Wing Compton House, Compton Green, > Redmarley, Gloucestershire, GL19 3JB, UK > Tel: +44 1531 829900 > Mobile: +44 7785 258278 > Email: A.Ford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > _______________________________________________ > Rpm-list mailing list > Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
