Re: RPM an DEB packagers needed

[Behdad Esfahbod <behdad at bamdad dot org>]

Hi,

I've studied RPM packages, you can get the idea by looking at 
fribidi.spec.in in fribidi CVS, and reading Mandrake RPM HOWTO, also 
an rpm book from redhat is the reference, that's quite easy, you can 
find these with google.

And about Makefile for them, it's not so good to do it with Makefile, 
because the built RPM depends on the build machine a lot, and that's 
better to do it yourself, it's just a 'rpm -ba packagename.spec' 
command.

Yours,
behdad
