I was going to add it something like this: "The different locations in use by RPM can be configured. Traditionally, they are set to ~/rpmbuild/* by default using the `rpmbuild-setuptree` command. In Fedora, however, we prefer to use a folder for each rpm package and modify the defaults to fit this workflow. To do so, we add a add a configuration file ... with these contents .." This nudges them towards the per-folder workflow which they'd run into once they get to the fedpkg bits. Do you think that would still be too hard for beginners? -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
