.spec file for glibmm
Last modified: 2006-07-12 14:53:25 UTC
I have created a .spec file for glibmm, tested on glibmm 2.8.0 and glibmm 2.10.4. The file is programmed to create several packages: gtkmm - Main binary package gtkmm-devel - Header files for those using the binary package gtkmm-docs - Documentation files for reference purposes gtkmm-debuginfo - Debug information on the binary package I am proposing that my attatched .spec file be imported into the official CVS/Subversion of glibmm for users to use. It can be put in the root directory of glibmm. An alternative location for the .spec file is a directory named "packages/rpm" (not in CVS/Subversion), which rpmbuild will find automatically.

I assume that this is for Fedora or RedHat. In general, I don't put .spec files (or debian files) in the source tarball because: 1. They should be in the distro's place for these packaging files, such as Fedora Extras. 2. They generally are not maintained after a while, and people then complain when they don't work anymore. If you are not already involved with Fedora Extras, I'm sure they could use some more help.
