RPM Development Tools

rpmdevtools contains many scripts to aid in package development. If you have any additions/fixes to the existing tools, please open a Bugzilla report against the Fedora rpmdevtools component. See also rpmdevtools in CVS .

Before version 5.0 (introduced in Fedora Extras for FC5), rpmdevtools was called fedora-rpmdevtools, and many scripts had a fedora- prefix instead of the current rpmdev- one.

rpmdev-diff Diff contents of two archives
rpmdev-newspec Creates new .spec from template
rpmdev-rmdevelrpms Find (and optionally remove) "development" RPMs
