Hi, I'm looking at comparing Fedora base .specs which were used for the Moblin 2 distro with the Moblin 2's .specs and face many questions.
Do you keep the base Fedora version you used in some repo? I could find some older Fedora SRPMs at http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org but this is a Fedora resource and I don't know for how long they will keep old SRPMs nor whether it's complete. I also see that Moblin 2 .spec files seem to use some different versionning scheme when compared to Fedora: -Release: 1%{?dist} +Release: 8.19.moblin2 (this is from the "acl" package taken as a random example) How do you pick "8.19" above? What I like in the Fedora changelog is that you can see the corresponding versions, but in the Moblin 2 changelog: +* Tue Dec 16 2008 Anas Nashif <[email protected]> 2.2.47 +- Fixed rpmlint errors in Summary tag +* Fri Dec 5 2008 Arjan van de Ven <[email protected]> 2.2.47 +- minor spec cleanups +* Wed Jul 23 2008 Zhang Xin <[email protected]> +- Mark man file and info file as %%doc * Tue Feb 12 2008 Jiri Moskovcak <[email protected]> 2.2.47-1 - new upstream version - * Mon Jan 28 2008 Jiri Moskovcak <[email protected]> 2.2.45-3 - Fixed segfault when using only "--" as parameter - Resolves: #430458 Note: no revision in the Moblin 2 entries, only in the older Fedora entries. Finally, there are some random changes such as removing trailing spaces, trailing dots, installing *.la, marking files as %doc files, updating licenses; is there a policy for these changes? What guidelines/cheat list do you use to prepare a Fedora SRPM for Moblin 2? Do you use a particular RPM lint tool/checker? Finally, is there a list of patches you sent to Fedora in which I could search for the most interesting changes?
