That looks really good! I'm sure we'll get it scheduled tomorrow during

meeting.

I had originally thought I'd limit the first post to the src rpm only, and then cover the spec file in another, but somehow they feel incomplete that way. :/ -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London _______________________________________________ Fedora Magazine mailing list -- magazine(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to magazine-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/magazine@lists.fedoraprojec...

The first stops at source RPMs, and the second goes on to look at spec files: - source RPMS: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29190&preview=1&_ppp=2a56b0ba68 - spec files etc: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29207&preview=1&_ppp=1126aa4f06 They are both ready for review.

Hello! Thanks for publishing the spec file post. I made a mistake that seems to have slipped through and may confuse readers: The command snipped: ``` $ cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES $ rpmbuild -bs fpaste.spec ``` should be: ``` $ cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS $ rpmbuild -bs fpaste.spec ``` Would someone be able to correct this please when you have a minute? -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London _______________________________________________ Fedora Magazine mailing list -- magazine(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to magazine-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/magazine@lists.fedoraprojec...
