Really it worked easy and fine. This created three RPM-s,
xpaint-2.7.8.1-4.fc10.i386.rpm, xpaint-devel-2.7.8.1-4.fc10.i386.rpm,
and xpaint-debuginfo-2.7.8.1-4.fc10.i386.rpm. I installed all three of
For all normal uses you, should be fine with only the first RPM.
The -devel rpms contain header files etc that are required to build some
other package that may depend on this package.
The -debuginfo RPM has binaries that contain more information for
debugger in case you need to analyses crashes etc with the software.
