I'm sorry if the question is really broad. As far as I know you need to create a spec file. But besides that what else do I have to keep in mind? Furthermore, are there are build scripts out there already that I can use to generate it? I know ethereal came in rpms... asked 30 Mar '11, 16:37  Tokolosh |
One Answer:
In the packaging/rpm directory tree in the source there's a SPECS subdirectory with a wireshark.spec.in file, which is turned into a wireshark.spec file by the configure script. In addition, there are "rpm-package" and "srpm-package" rules in the top-level Makefile.am; try running the configure script, if you haven't done it already, and then doing "make rpm-package" and see whether it generates an acceptable RPM. (If not, file bugs at the Wireshark bug database.) (And, yes, people continued generating RPMs after the name changed from Ethereal to Wireshark....) answered 30 Mar '11, 19:25  Guy Harris ♦♦ |
