Hey Lee!
How does the abf directory come into existence?
NOTE: I was blessed with a link to a special fork (with the relevant Create, maintain and update packages article linked here) of the OpenMandriva wiki by @vuatech in the Matrix chat.
Thank you!
The v* {name} commands create the ~/abf directory, and then places the spec file in the ~/abf/{name} directory.
The
abb buildcommand will download whatever you listed as the source URL.1:
v* {name}
2:cd abf/{name}
3:abb build
You don’t need to manually download or extract the tarball, abb build does it for you.
Okay, so I’m starting from scratch and doing the process as described here. Seems awesomely simple!
So, I used vs to create the spec file.
Looking at it, I noticed that vs created a field called Group: in the .spec file.
What is Group:, and how would I know/find (if applicable), where to properly place the package into said Group:?
