Hi,
I improved a little bit a skeleton.spec from vim-base. spec-cleaner will help a bit to cleanup our .spec's but why can't we start writing 'clean&transparent' .spec files from the beginning? -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik, openSUSE Community Member
I created my first package about 18 months ago. At that time I tried to find a reference for a simple package to copy / understand. There didn't seem to be one. And at the time bzip2 was recommended in the wiki entry I was trying to follow, but when I tried to create a deb, it required a standard gzip package. I'd like to see a few reference projects created that have clean spec files, etc. Then the wiki pages for new packagers can describe those reference packages and users can go from there. My thoughts for basic reference packages: - A rpm only CLI reference package - A rpm / deb CLI reference package - A rpm gnome ref. package - A rpm kde ref. package - A ref package that applies a kernel patch to a module - A ref package that creates a kernel module fyi: If a clean reference package for a rpm/deb package is not readily available, I have a rpm/deb package I've tried to keep as clean as I can. home:gregfreemyer:Weather > open2300 The biggest issue I see as relates to it being a reference package is that man pages don't exist. I assume some bogus ones could be created to flesh out a reference implementation.
