We can build rpm packages on debian so we can test the process on a debian box.
The thing is, I don't know how to build rpm packages.
Is there a straight command that wouldn't require me to search docs for hours in
order to build such a package?
Is there a very short tutorial to get me running things very quickly, esp.
knowing how to specify deps and file locations (fonts, glyphmaps, keymaps...)?
