Hi
Ok, I've done some experimentations here tonight.
I shamefully took one of Martins spec-files and modified it. Without
those spec-files it would really have taken lots more time before I had
gotten all these things with prefixes and all sorts of other stuff
right. Thanks Martin!
I made a spec-file that builds a rpm for the swedish dictionary. (The
ideas about scripting, to build all rpms from one spec-file will be a
later problem. I'm concentrating to get the basics to work first.)
I would appreciate it if someone familiar with spec-files can take a
look at this and tell me all the things that are wrong (I'm sure there's
lots =).
For example, I tar the dictionary and distribute it that way in the rpm.
Only when the rpm is installed, I untar it. Is this the right way of
doing it? or is rpms compressed automaticly?
And I wouldn't mind if anyone would suggest some better wordings in the
%description and such. I did just put something there.
Btw, I put up a test rpm here:

Take care
