The documentation for the -c option for the %setup macro doesn't seem to match how things work. -c just seems to trigger directory creation, but not choose the name. You still need to use -n name if you want a specific name. | The documentation for the -c option for the %setup macro doesn't seem to match how things work. -c just seems to trigger directory creation, but not choose the name.

I came to clean up a few things because a user pointed out that he got poor advice from this page, and I realized as I started fixing things that it really needs an overhaul. So I've added an "under construction" note and will be converting everything to use fedpkg throughout. I apologize to any translators who are going to see a wall of edits.

Latest revision as of 19:53, 27 September 2016
There are tons of tutorials on how to create RPM packages, but many of them are obsolete, or don't include the important Fedora-specific stuff. This page gives the basics, with links to more information. I had to use many different sources to come up with this page - which was the problem in the first place.
The documentation for the -c option for the %setup macro doesn't seem to match how things work. -c just seems to trigger directory creation, but not choose the name. You still need to use -n name if you want a specific name.

Big restructuring
I came to clean up a few things because a user pointed out that he got poor advice from this page, and I realized as I started fixing things that it really needs an overhaul. So I've added an "under construction" note and will be converting everything to use fedpkg throughout. I apologize to any translators who are going to see a wall of edits.
