Hi, I took a stab at creating an RPM for the NAnt install. This is my first attempt and I am hoping to get some feedback from "those that know".
Just a couple of notes:
1) there are some hard code paths in the NAnt.spec file
2) $RPM_TEST and $RPM_BASE are set in the build.sh file; these point to your
working directory and RPM base directory.
3) I did most of my work on cygwin/ windows
- some issues with line ends in the script
- install target does not seem to work (requires mkdir?)
There may be more issues, again this is a first attempt and I am mostly looking for
feedback.
Thanks,
Clayton

yes I think so. I mean we could get away with using a small
install.build file. Yeah I know I know - I just said in a previous mail
that build/makefiles aren't necessarily the best choice for installers
but it would be easy to write and it would be X-platform.

No - If I get a chance I'd like to - or if someone out there with rpm
building skills would like to volunteer - that would be great too.
