Hi there,
I just imported the RPM Spec File Syntax page in the wiki.
It’s located here: http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=spec_syntax
Please review this page as it’s one of the most important one for the
beginning of the mentoring process, with the RPM Howto page (yet to be
imported).
Some comments on this page:
- Patch naming:
I’m not sure we should go that far for the patch naming policy, and in
practice it’s not what I’ve seen up till now.
Here’s a proposal:
Patches must be named in a very explicit manner to make it very clear to
what version it was originally applied. To that end, a patch needs to
follow the convention of
[package_name]-[version]-[description].patch:
* [package_name] is the name of the package it applies against, such
as 'shadow-utils' or 'gnupg'
* [version] is the version of the program this patch was developed
against, such as 1.0. The name of the patch should not change,
I don't agree, if you rediff the patch against version 2.0 the the
version in the patch name should change; one reason is, it can't be
applied to version 1.0 any more without restoring the old patch from
an older SVN rev. or rediffing it again.
But that mean we lose history of svn ?
svn mv old_patch_name new_patch_name
and then update new_patch_name to apply correctly.
