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.
For those cases where we borrow spec files from fedora or suse, we don't tend
to keep the originals around.
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?
this gets picked automatically by our build system....
What I like in the Fedora changelog is that you can see the
corresponding versions, but in the Moblin 2 changelog:
... and this is because the versions get put in at build time, so
at the time of writing the changelog it is not known.
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?
the thing is, the packages that we borrowed from fedora or suse (as opposed to
doing our own
specfile) tend to be the ones where we haven't done much of anything.
In general (and I'm sure you can find exceptions), the cases where we do real
changes are not those
where we borrowed.
