Yankee Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm fixing to do some reading on how to build RPMs. Any link to start? I may never build any but I would like to see what is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmodem Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm fixing to do some reading on how to build RPMs. Any link to start? I may never build any but I would like to see what is involved. The first reading i recommend you to have is this one -> http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/ the other link that Dexter11 refered -> http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Packaging can be more specific for Mandriva like for example rpmlint is mandriva specific. However for a faster learning you can start downloading, install the rpm build tree and then open the *.spec files, then the doubts you have ask me in irc (freenode servers) in channel #MDE I also was a newbie and at that time was thac that started teaching me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert P Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Not to be a stick in the mud...but MDE has almost no support and I have yet to see a difference in anything with their packaging as compared to SoS repositories. I guess if you like flash and ricer stuff....there ya go....my .02 cents I know Ze_M will fire back but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) If you cannot see the difference between the MDE and SoS repos, then I'm afraid there is not much we can talk about... and by the way, I'm not mmodem. You need support for WHAT? Some custom made RPM's which you were offered for free, but you actually do not know what to do with them? Jeez... :P But I do have a good suggestion for you: since you seem to like them, use the SoS RPM's, and his articulate support. Just do not make the mistake to spell "Cooker" in his forum, or you will get banned before you can spell "gulp"...

spinynorman Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Not to be a stick in the mud...but MDE has almost no support... thac & Zé provide support in our MDE forum - but they get very few questions... :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 You can also find them at their official club topic. Plus they have their own IRC channel. On their homepage you can find their email address. See you only have to know how to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert P Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I am not talking about "contacting" them, just the sheer support from them. I could go on and on but I don't give damn. My opinion Vs Yours....No one wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I am not talking about "contacting" them, just the sheer support from them. I'm sorry, but I don't understand you? How can you receive support if you do not contact them? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
