Post subject: Creating an RPM file of a source tree for inclusion in a kickstart DVD.
Archived from groups: linux>redhat>rpm (more info?)

Hello All,

I'm mostly a linux user, been one for quite a while, but I've never
had to work with kickstart or create an RPM file before, so I'm
running into some issues. Hopefully you all can help me out here...

First off, I have a bunch of source code files I need to put into an
RPM for inclusion in the kickstart DVD. I don't need the i386 RPM or
anything, I basically just want to use the src.RPM. My source code is
located in:

/export/home/mediaApp

How do I create a spec file that will pull all of the files from the
tree there, put them in an RPM, and then understand that I want them
all put back there when I use the kickstart DVD to install the linux
kernel on a new machine?

Secondly, about kickstart, if I create an RPM of my data called
soemthing like mediaApp-1.10,0-1.noarch.rpm, do I need to specifically
include that in the list of packages in the %packages section of my
kickstart script?

Thanks so much for the assistance.
Jeremy
