Hi,
I have tried to put a very brief, to the point documentation on packaging RPM work-flow to be used for newbie packagers: http://shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/howtos/packaging-rpm-workflow.html
I'd appreciate any feedback on the same -- something that I have missed, or that needs to be added, modified, or fixed in the documentation.
Thanks!

Awesome! Would you mind if someone (me, for example) will translate it to other languages?

Sure! Please feel free to translate, re-use the documentation.

Looks fine, but isn't this duplicating pre-existing documentation [1]? Maybe this could be integrated in the existing version?

This was more like a reference manual, to me. There was just too much text!
The one I had prepared is a HOWTO, where one could go from start to finish. One could do that with a reference manual too, with time to read, and a bit of patience.

Except... you're missing steps. At least:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join#Install_the_Client_Too...
That is pretty necessary to be successful in following your howto.
I'm of the opinion that it is better to have the extra text than to have people confused as to how to accomplish a task, but perhaps someone with better documentation/wiki writing skills than I could merge these two documents into something where the short text expands out to the more thorough longer text by clicking....

I would not use "Send the package" in the last paragraph but "Push the package into the public repository" or something along this line. Otherwise the recipe is very nice, despite duplicating some existing pages.
