of course, but it still contains maybe useful information (although i
wouldn't use it much)
Yea, but so will thousands of blog posts on the subject ;)

of course, but still related/useful to packaging imho. (especially,
because its the most comprehensive document about rpm, i think)
Honestly, one rarely needs this - in all my years as a package
maintainer I may have looked at this maybe 4 times..
<snip>
well ideally, we would just have a few documents with up-to-date
information, like:
one general, up-to-date document about packaging in fedora, which
links
e.g. to
http://rpm5.org/docs/rpm-guide.pdf and the language
specific
guide.
Yea, but in the case of packaging, the wiki pages are up to date and
pretty much official. If there's something you can't find in
Category:Packaging, it's going to be an extremely rare one off and then
you shoot an e-mail to the devel list.
At least that is my opionion on "great documentation" :) Maybe (i'm
honestly not sure if i will have time for that) i can help with that
in the future.
The wiki can be improved, yes - there's so much disorganised
information there that it often takes a while to find things if you
don't know the general region :/
Again, if you have specific ideas to improve things, I can pass them on
to the right people :)
