Using slackware 12
I've been studying how to make packages at linuxpackages .net and a few other
articles I found searching the net. I still have questions:
1. What needs to be the ownership and permissions of files in the package,
and how should I compile a program to ensure this?
For example I noticed some files in /usr/bin were owned by the group bin.
2. How do I chose the architecture when making a program; which should I use
for Slackware12?
3. I found this in "How to make packages" at linuxpackages.net:
Can someone explain this?

Ok now that we have the package all tidy in /work/builds lets go ahead and
make it. One mistake most folks make is not ensuring the build folder is owned
by root and has the correct perms. Remember this will be the root of the file
system the package is installed on. The best thing is to type chown root.root
. and chmod 755 . from inside the /work/builds directory. Next type "makepkg
name-version-arch-build.tgz" this will create a package based on what is in
that directory.
