The point of this note is to document the steps for removing the version number from the RPM produced by Publican so that it matches Fedora packaging standards.
Grab the SRPM
If the Publican produced RPM has been produced by someone else, get the SRPM from Publican.
Unpack the SRPM
Make an empty directory to work in. For Publican, there really don't seem to be a lot of files, but another RPM might make a whole bunch
From this directory:
rpm2cpio {name.src.rpm} | cpio -i
This should leave you with two files; a tarball and a spec file.
Rename the tar
unpack the tar
tar -xzf {name of the tar}
this will create a subdirectory. Name that subdirectory fedora-release-notes-version-number
repack the tar
tar -czf fedora-release-notes-{version}.tgz fedora-release-notes-{version}
Rename the spec file
mv {something}.spec fedora-release-notes.spec
Edit the spec file
- Near the top, change the name to
fedora-release-notes - Next line, change the version to match the tarball version
- Toward the latter part of the file,
Name=represents what will show on the menu. Adjust this if needed - Near the end, the version number on the changelog entry must match the version number on the tar, then a dash, then the release number
Build the RPM
Copy the tar to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
rpmbuild -ba fedora-release-notes.spec
Check the RPM
cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch rpmlint fedora-release-notes-(long version).noarch.rpm
C'est ca.
