Hi,
I am trying to get into the details of rpm building and was looking for a comprehensive documentation, reflecting the latest changes and developments of rpm.
So far I have found lots of docs, including "maximum rpm" [1], which is quite comprehensive, but not really up to date. Then there is the fedora documentation [2], which seems more up to date, but rather fedora specific.
I was looking for THE definite source of rpm documentation. Have I missed anything?
Not really. RPM documentation is just bad. The Fedora docs aren't so Fedora specific, you can basically trust them. For the more openSUSE specific macros look at your /etc/rpm/ directory (depends on having some packages installed). And also at http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging. For the latest developments, just read the release notes: http://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.10.0 Then, after a few years of packaging, you get used to it... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
