Re: next draft of rpm guidelines are here

[Dean Scott <drscott rochester rr com>]

Hi guys! I've joined the list and would like to help you guys out with
packaging GNOME. I've been doing a lot of packaging for a custom RPM
distro lately and would like to help out wherever I can. Onto the
comments ..
In case you haven't caught it already, there's a typo in the BuildRoot
(tmppath not tmmpath). Also, most spec files i've seen pass the rpm
flags when configure is run, not when make is run (I dont suppose it
makes a difference, however this is how the %configure macro does it
also). Overall I'd say it looks great though
