Hello all. Have been wanting to get involved with Fedora/CentOS for
some time, and though helping package up a few programs which I use
frequently would be a good way to get my feet wet.
I've built an RPM for 'remind', which is a pretty cool little
scheduling utility that I use in place of a GUI Calendar.
I have a few questions on the "proper" (Fedora) way that this utility
should be packaged up however.
remind includes a couple scripts: rem2ps, tkremind, cm2rem.tcl to name
a few that obviously would depend on TCL/TK being present on the
system. Is the proper way to handle this to make a subpackage for
these few scripts (remind-extras or remind-gui, etc)? Or, since remind
itself works fine without them, just to exclude them completely from
the RPM? Or perhaps throw them in /usr/share/doc ...
Also, remind distributes their source with a source tarball name as
follows:
remind-03.00.24.tar.gz
This corresponds with v3.00.24 of the program. I've left this version
number intact in my spec file, but perhaps I should tuncate it to
3.00.24? The naming guidelines don't seem to cover a scenario like
this. I left it at 03.00.24 because it made my %prep and %setup steps
simpler. :)
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Ray
