Hi Pascal, Any help is appreciated. And I hope java software packaging is getting more popular and we will have more java software available soon on OBS :-) Thanks for your help on cleaning up the file. I started the section on Java packaging, as there wasn't anything yet and I found a number of Java packages in opensuse aren't actually "build" - as such during the packaging process. Look at the "Jarnal" build script in Factory ;-) [...]
I had a quick look at it, fixed some spelling and rewrote parts of the spec file (e.g. never "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" except in the %clean section). Why not? I cleans the directory before building ... not really necessary anymore with OBS though...
cheers
Also, a few questions remain: Why did you replace all the {name} variables with the actual name? What is better in using "%__install ..." over "install ..." ? "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" has been replaced with "%{buildroot}" too, any advantage here? I hope you'll find some time in future to do more sanity check in the java packaging section of the wiki!
