I would like to point you to the pretty extensive article about news and important changes in openSUSE Packaging we wrote. It covers recent changes in macros, paths, tags and also new and cool features in RPM or OBS.
It looks very detailed (good), but not for beginners. Was this intentional? :-)
Visit: https://packageninjas.github.io/packaging/2020/10/13/ news-in-packaging.html
Could it be also at https://news.opensuse.org/ and/or https:// planet.opensuse.org/ ? It'd help people to find it.
I believe that whether you are a pro package maintainer or just a casual packager who wants to catch up, you will definitely find here something you didn’t know.
This feels very wrong to me. Contributors, in particular "casual packagers", shouldn't have to go through a 30-page document(*) just to keep up with changes in packaging. Packaging should be *easy*, *fun*, and *quick*, and should take as little as possible precious developer attention. We've turned it into a science, and a cumbersome and boring one at that. I haven't researched any details, but at a glance it feels as if we're deprecating things that we've introduced just a short while ago.
I was browsing https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Packaging if I find some quick howto for dummies (BFU), but I wasn't successful. IMHO something like this --- up-to-date and enough fool-proof --- would be super beneficial for everyone, especially for casual packagers. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/
