Bug ID: 985020 Summary: explain types of rpm packages (what are they for) Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: packager-guide Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Assignee: pkovar@redhat.com Reporter: bvoperdf21@mt2014.com QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pkovar@redhat.com
Description of problem: First I'd like to thank for the awesome documentaions available. Also +1 for the export function (PDF,html-single,...). Looking at the packagers guide I missed some information. It would be nice if you also tell what kind of rpm packages are out there. What I found so far: .rpm .src.rpm .debugsource.... .debuginfo....
For example I still don't know if the debugsource is needed when using gdb for debugging or if the debuginfo package is enough.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):Edition 18.0.1
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Pack... 2.read everything
Actual results: no description of the defferent types of rpm packages
Expected results: find description of the defferent types of rpm packages and what they are used for/by.
Additional info: would be nice to have this
