I do: mkcd foo (bash alias to do mkdir foo && cd foo) git init git remote add origin blah (literally this, otherwise fedpkg complains, *) emacs foo.spec & spectool -g *spec (**) fedpkg --release master local mock $(ls -t1r *.src.rpm|tail -n1) (literally this, so I always try to build the latest package) I know this is crap and unsuitable for new packagers. But it still seems better than plain rpmbuild. (*) I know some people add a real repo here, to publish the spec file, but I don't bother. (**) If possible, I only use real URLs for Sources and Patches. E.g. I try to link to patches directly on github using https://github.com/foo/foo/commit/NNNNN.patch. In case I submit a PR with a patch, I link to the commit in the PR. This means 'spectool -g *spec' is the only tool used to move patches around. But this approach is rather incompatible with a global ~/rpm/SOURCES dir.
