From a survey of about 1700 .spec files in my current working collection, the overwhelmingly common place to ** install ** such is in a: %doc directory
Most simply place them in the top directory, at a depth even with where a V[ersioned] tarball is unpacked by the %setup stanza. Then rpmbuild -ta (package-V).tgz can un-gzip and find it there and will build to order in chained automation. I see in my local archive: bzr/kicad/RCS/README,v:rpmbuild -ta ${PROJECT}-${YMD}.tar.gz && { which does this. The R[elease] value gets tacked on during the build process This is most sensible (I have much automation for automatic VCS CO, .spec file, and then tarballgenerators, which substitute in various variable substitutions). See, eg., ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/dl/README of which I was tracking VCS dalies and testing, before it moved into Fedora Others use this approaches similar to this as well -- I see several '%{_package}.spec.in' files by others to that effect as well. See, eg., krb5-auth-dialog and GeoIP -- Russ herrold _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
