| − | # Is it normal behavior for 'make clean' to not remove the noarch folder and RPMS in there as it does remove the SRPM?
| |
| − | # Is it normal for make to create a SRPM in the root of the branch (package-name/contribs7/) and the noarch RPM in a noarch folder? Shouldn't it be desired to build the SPRM in a seperate folder as well?

| − | Normally you shouldn't need to worry about the rpms produced. The build system needs packages in a specific place so it knows where to look for them. The single srpm is used to build multiple arch packages so it makes sense for it to be at the root. All the packages that are created for each arch end up under that arch directory. For a single noarch it doesn't look very clean but when you are build against 2-5 different archs and each arch produces 3-10 packages it makes it very nice to be organized in this fashion. <small>— [[User:Slords|Slords]] ([[User talk:Slords|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Slords|contribs]]).</small> 10:05, 25 December 2007 (MST)

| − | I think we need to clearly document that you at least need to check out the common folder for the build system to work, am I right? - [[User:Cactus|Cactus]] 06:51, 25 December 2007 (MST)

| − | The common folder doesn't need to be specifically checked out. The make file is smart enough to check for a common folder and if it doesn't find one then it will automatically check it out. The instructions for checking out the common folder in the rpms directory make it so that the make file won't check out a common folder for each and every package you work on. <small>— [[User:Slords|Slords]] ([[User talk:Slords|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Slords|contribs]]).</small> 10:05, 25 December 2007 (MST)
