My lmgtfy link was not well received. I misread the situation here, and for that I apologize. I will, however, take the time to explain was I was doing, because I think it goes to the heart of how a list like this functions. The question in the original post was specific: > What's the latest and best way to package software as an RPM? I'm not inexperienced in this topic. As Galen pointed out, I have some older pages on my personal web site that deal with building RPMs, but they're old and unlikely to reflect today's best practices. I do know that rpm-building is a widely discussed topic, and several good writers have assembled instructions. I also know that there's no quick answer to the question of the finding the latest and best way to package software as an RPM; a good answer would be article-length at least. The way I'd go about looking for answer is to search the internet for "build rpm" or something similar. Indeed, when I did that, the first several results from Google looked quite promising. I assumed, I guess, that the original poster knew that he was asking a question with a complex answer. I also assumed he'd know that list members would be unlikely to take the time to write a full-length technical article by way of response. Pointing him to existing web resources was what I considered the shortest route to him finding his answer. > Tomas > On Sun, 2017-05-21 at 09:05 -0700, Galen Seitz wrote: >> On 05/20/17 19:13, Tom wrote: >>> Would you be willing to share your filling Google form education >>> class >>> creation know-how Paul? >>> Would it be universally applicable to other web applications? >>> I am sure that the answer is just another G search away, but I am >>> at >>> loss what to look for ... >> >> Tom, I'm guessing you intended that as snark.
