[Fedora-packaging] Packaging Software

Hello,

I am entirely new to contributing to the Fedora Project and would like to help, but I'm not sure if I'm in the right place.

I have used Fedora since around Fedora Core 4 and got into software packaging around 8 years ago. However, I've always been frustrated with the difficulty level associated with building a simple RPM.

I believe that the easiest thing you should be able to do in a distro is to be able to package software for it, but I was really surprised at how much effort it took to get started with the process.

So, I created a simple packaging software to assist with the creation of RPMs and would like to know if anyone thinks it might be useful to expand upon.

Please check it out if you think it would be of interest to you:

-any feedback/criticism is appreciated (or a polite point in the right direction if I'm in the wrong place)!

Thanks!

-Gene
