            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(a)redhat.com
          Reporter: bvoperdf21(a)mt2014.com
        QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
                CC: pkovar(a)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/P...
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
