I saw a couple of references on the list regarding the use of the build script and I have patched my build according to Mads' recipe. Unfortunately, the information in the man page to it and what I gathered from the recent thread is not enough for me to be able to roll my own rpms that will fit into my SuSE system. Can someone please point me to a how-to or FAQ on how to use build from scratch, i.e., after downloading the sources for someprogram from its web site to getting a SuSE-ready binary rpm? I guess, what I will probably need most is some sort of skeleton spec file that will fit into the SuSE distribution which I can modify for my purposes, and perhaps a simple way to convert a Makefile into the equivalent that will be used by build. Thank you very much in advance, Alex.
