I am happy to say the last rpm I had to create was back during 2.5 development testing days. Now I would find it convenient to roll another, and I'm hoping there's by now a better tool to help create an rpm from scratch, something more intuitive than the man page in one window and vi in the other.
Is there?
Sounds like NO, there has been progress in documentation since 2.5 days, but sounds like it all has to be created by hand in terms of scripts, spec files, etc. Thanks, but if it hasn't gotten less time consuming in 12-15 years, let it be someone else's time.
Thanks much for the pointer to better documentation, that has improved
oh come on this is laughable
take a existing SPEC and change the sources leave the %files empty and after teh first build you get a complete list of unpacked files
start a new package by hand usausally takes 2-5 minutes
