* right now, or better said one year ago I wanted to help a friend developer entering his software (EKD=EnKoderDemixer) in OBS. I was never able to do so. Not for OBS itself, but I don't understand hos to write a spec file. I don't even understand the vocabulary used in the help files.... I compile kernel since nearly 20 years now so I should be able to do OBS. I probably could achieve this if I had not other (family) problems at the same time, but this is anyway a blocking part. Better doc? as I still have this work to do, I may help :-)
Did you try to follow blog posts targeting beginners on their journey to
become packagers, like for example
http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2009/05/rpm-packaging-for-beginners/ ?
Writing a .spec file is no black magic.. if you can install a program
from source, then you have already half of the work done (you know the
commands to install the beast).
