__NOTOC__
= Fedora RPM Build =
== Structure ==
To build an rpm must be created and/or placed different files under `/usr/src/redhat` as follow:
# Spec file with details of name, dependencies, instructions, etc and script of how to build the rpm under `SPEC` folder
# Compressed file with the sources under `SOURCES` folder

== Build ==
To build the new rpm, run the command:
# rpmbuild -ba SPEC/newrpm.spec

The created files will be placed as follow:
# New RPM created under `RPMS/''system_architecture''` folder
# RPM with sources and spec file packed under `SRPMS` folder
# Unpacked sources under `BUILD` folder

== Scripts ==
There are 4 types of scripts:
# Pre install: pre
# Post install: post
# Pre uninstall: preun
# Post uninstall: postun

The `rpm` command has 3 main types of execution to be considered:
# install
rpm -i newrpm.rpm

# upgrade
rpm -u newrpm.rpm

# remove
rpm -e newrpm.rpm
and different values are passed to each script based on which type of execution is performed by the `rpm` command.

{{Warningbox | Warning |* Be careful with the usage of each script section, please note the execution order which is crucial at upgrade time.<br>* When importing specs from other distros use remove `%` in from of `make`}}
