><i> Hi there,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I just imported the RPM Spec File Syntax page in the wiki.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It’s located here: <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=spec_syntax">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=spec_syntax</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Please review this page as it’s one of the most important one for the
</I>><i> beginning of the mentoring process, with the RPM Howto page (yet to be
</I>><i> imported).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Some comments on this page:
</I>><i> - Patch naming:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I’m not sure we should go that far for the patch naming policy, and in
</I>><i> practice it’s not what I’ve seen up till now.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Here’s a proposal:
</I>><i> Patches must be named in a very explicit manner to make it very clear to
</I>><i> what version it was originally applied. To that end, a patch needs to
</I>><i> follow the convention of
</I>><i> [package_name]-[version]-[description].patch:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> * [package_name] is the name of the package it applies against, such
</I>><i> as 'shadow-utils' or 'gnupg'
</I>><i> * [version] is the version of the program this patch was developed
</I>><i> against, such as 1.0. The name of the patch should not change, even
</I>><i> when it is rediffed, because the version allow to see in a blink since
</I>><i> when this patch has been there. If you happen to see a patch that does
</I>><i> not apply anymore, and rediff it, ask the package maintainer if it has
</I>><i> been sent upstream, and why it hasn’t been merged, and send it
</I>><i> upstream if you think it should be merged.
</I>><i> * [description] is a short description of the patch's purpose.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Example: foo-1.0-fix-str-fmt.patch for a patch that fixes string format
</I>><i> errors
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - Buildroot changed from the original page
</I>><i>
</I>><i> After reviewing it again, I see that some links have to be made to the
</I>><i> corresponding pages, and an explicit license should be mentionned as
</I>><i> well.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Thanks for reviewing this page,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Regards,
</I>I will review this page.
I begin now.
