[Mageia-dev] Need mentor(s) to become a Mageia packager

Thu Jul 21 22:14:04 CEST 2011

Hi All,
+
+I am still trying to pack ZoneMinder for Cauldron.
+Now rpms are generated and rpmlint is not complaining, but I am still
+sure, it's not OK :) , that's why I need help.
+Attached is the spec file, if somebody could have a look.
+
+Here are my questions:
+- where should go the installed files? (Zoneminder provides perl
+modules, the site itself, CGI services , doc and conf).
+- some files have no path's variable:
+/usr/share/man/lib/perl5/5.14.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod.xz
+/usr/local/share/man/man3/ZoneMinder.3pm
+...
+Any idea, what it should be?
+- what should be the permissions for the site under the apache server?
+- should the %install section creates the database table/permissions
+for ZoneMinder? If so, is there any example how to achieve this?
+- should the %install section creates the service launcher scripts? If
+so, is there any example how to achieve this?
+
+Thanks in advance for you help!
+
+Vincent
