Hello,
This is a follow up post to the "RPM Packages explained" post. It covers how they are made.
Public preview link: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29190&preview=1&_ppp=dbc689780a
It is slightly longer than I'd like, but one cannot really explain the build process without touching on the spec file. I also wanted to include enough code snippets so that readers could try the commands out. Hopefully, it'll help them get a little comfortable with the process and think about joining the package maintainers :)
While long, it's quite simple to follow though (or so I hope).
That looks really good! I'm sure we'll get it scheduled tomorrow during the meeting.
Cheers! Adam

Hi Ankur,
We have discussed your article during today's editor's meeting. We felt that your article could benefit from being 2 separate articles, is that something that you think you could do? If not that's fine with us and we will publish it as it is ☺
Thanks Clément
Cheers! Adam

Sure. How would you suggest it be split? I had originally thought I'd limit the first post to the src rpm only, and then cover the spec file in another, but somehow they feel incomplete that way. :/
One way to split it would be after Step 1 of the spec file section. Everything up to this point is informational (and well done!). So the first part would thus be informational about RPMs, and the second part would be all about the building of RPMs.
How does that sound?

Thanks---that works. I broke the article into two. The first stops at source RPMs, and the second goes on to look at spec files:
- source RPMS: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29190&preview=1&_ppp=2a56b0ba68 - spec files etc: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29207&preview=1&_ppp=1126aa4f06
They are both ready for review.

Nice, that looks good.
I've reviewed the first one and scheduled it for today. I think we could plan the other one for next Monday.
Thanks again! Cheers, Adam

Hello!
Thanks for publishing the spec file post. I made a mistake that seems to have slipped through and may confuse readers:
The command snipped:
``` $ cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES $ rpmbuild -bs fpaste.spec ```
should be:
``` $ cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS $ rpmbuild -bs fpaste.spec ```
Would someone be able to correct this please when you have a minute?
Done.
