Terminology

  • learn about a spec file
    • A plain text file used to compile package software named with file extension .spec
    • Contains “sections” that tell RPM how to perform the sections’ respective portions of the package construction process.
    • Sections can contain code that is simply passed to the shell. (What is shell?)
  • A macro is a string such as: %{macro} (maybe?), that is converted by the RPM to a different string that is usually longer. There is no example and I am having difficulty imagining this.
  • “koji, the main Fedora build system: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/”
