So, what do you want ? Us to make the spec file for you or *learn* how to build RPMs ?
I notice that some very simple utilities and very usefull (the makethumb.sh I took as example, but also sitecopy - time ago, at least) are not available from SUSE repositories. I could download them and use or compile them easily, so the task of including them should not be that difficult. I can't see why compiling an utility and installing it with make/automake should be simpler than make a rpm for that. If there are reason for rpm to be so, I want to enlight them, if not I want also to make this clear. however, I've seen many individuals making rpm for single application (LyX), so I doubt this to be as difficult as it seems. time ago (nearly ten years, now) I was said: "Linux is not for anybody, it's too complicated" I never beleived that. May be because I'm a teacher :-) in summary, I would like to make clear in what case a very simple (some clear steps) rpm can be made and when it can't. some kind of "if your application have this and this, you can make a rpm with this recipe, else better not or read more doc" jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
