Building Fedora 7 packages

Checkout Spec files

First, check out stuff from Subversion as above. Now check out the Fedora spec goo:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/pkgs co mugshot
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/pkgs co bigboard
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/pkgs co online-desktop

Creating an RPM

To update a package, run

make dist

in the source directory for whichever package you want to update. Next, copy that to the Fedora directory, e.g.:

cp online-desktop-0.2.19.tar.gz /path/to/online-desktop/devel

cd /path/to/online-desktop/devel
make local

You should have an RPM in say i686/. Now you need to install it:

rpm -Uvh --force i686/online-desktop-0.2.19.i686.rpm
