Hello, i would like to build some packages for my phone, and i would need some help in that,
maybe there is someone on the openmandriva community that is more skilled than me in this and can help me?
i did it long time ago with rpmbuild but unfortunately, i forgot how to do it
also, is rpmbuild in the repos?because that’s what i used some years ago to build things for my phone
thank you…
We do have rpm-build, rpmbuild, but most everyone in the dev team just installs basesystem-build which is a package that installs everything you need to build our stuff.
To get some one on one help building packages, I would suggest the matrix chat rooms.

Making Packages
You must have packaging tools installed:
sudo dnf install packaging-tools

vs: vs stands for vi specfile. By default it opens a specfile template in Vim, but it respects the $EDITOR and $VISUAL environment variables.
vl: vl is vs for libraries. It loads a different template.
vp: vp is vs for Python modules. It loads a different template.
vpl: vpl is vs for Perl …
This guide is a good starting place
