Rpmdevtools

= 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.

rpmdevtools when installed also pulls in (roughly) the explicit minimum build environment as defined in packaging guidelines, and contains (X)Emacs helpers that integrates rpm-spec-mode.el with rpmdev-newspec.
