Where do I find hints or real documentation about how to build patch rpms?
This is not necessary for real package distribution.
This is indeed true. But *I* would really like to be able to build patch rpms. Full stop. And there is obviously the possibility to build such a thing which is obviously not properly documented.
I will bring it up with the maintainer.
Thanks.
Btw, deltarpm generation is done by tools from the "deltarpm" package.
Nice. Really! But how does it work and how would I be able to build such a thing without the need to use this "deltarpm" package? Is this thingy available for 9.0 installations (It is. But where is this Information documented?)?
Why do I need a *login* to get this "Documentation: SUSE Package Conventions"? This all gets closed up instead of more opened.
I will bring this up internally. This should not be the case.
Good. But exactly this documents that Novell/SuSE didn't yet reflect enough about the fact that they *need* contributors for the opensuse project and how to ease the work for them. Regards Henning -- "I may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent." -- Ashleigh Brilliant
