SPEC files
Hello
i downloaded program in source files like this filename.tar.bz2 does it possible create filename.RPM from filename.tar.bz2 ??? i find only that for these purposes use filename.SPEC file. In some documentations on I-net told that usually filename.tar.bz2 include SPEC file, but my downloaded program not have it :( so i don't know how write SPEC files can somebody explain or give a link on tutorial |
For everything you could possibly want to know about rpm, go to the RedHad website. Under the Documentation link, you will find a book: Maximum-rpm (about 700 pages). You can study it on-line, or download it to your computer. There is a section on writing spec files.
Better would be to try to find the same application in a .src.rpm, which is a source file (tar.gz) and a spec file. In case you don't know how to install and compile a .src.rpm, the book named above also covers that subject. |
