# Script for Building tidy rpm packages # To build the RPM packages for tidy on Redhat and other distros which support rpm. # For making Debian packages, first create rpm package and then generate # debian package by command "rpm2deb filename" The steps are as follows: 1. Let's suppose TIDY_VERSION you are building is 02October2003 2. Unpack original source tree tar zxvf tidy_src.tgz This will extract to a directory called tidy 3. mv tidy tidy-02October2003 Edit the tidy.spec file inside directory tidy-02October2003 and make sure the Version variable is changed to 02October2003. Also edit the Makefile and change prefix to "exactly" say this: runinst_prefix=${RPMTMP} devinst_prefix=${RPMTMP} 4. tar zcvf tidy-02October2003.tgz tidy-02October2003 5. rpmbuild -ta tidy-02October2003.tgz 6. rm tidy-02October2003.tgz 7. To derive Debian package for tidy run command on created rpm packages rpm2deb tidy-02October2003-1.rpm
