During my last patches I updated the former, but now I realized that there is also the latter.I think packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in was the file used by autotools and packaging/rpm/wireshark.spec.in is the ”new” file used by CMake the former can probably be deleted now.
That's correct. Supporting Autotools and CMake from the same .spec.in seemed like an exercise in frustration, especially given that we were planning on dropping Autotools.
Hmmm, that is weird. Normally, a SPEC file goes in the SPECS directory. Can we relocate them? (It is not mandatory, just a convention.) Do the tools generate the SPEC file in the correct place?
CMakeLists.txt creates packaging/rpm/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} in your build directory and generates <build dir>/packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec from <source dir>/packaging/wireshark.spec.in. The other packaging/* directories simply contain the files necessary to build their respective packages. With that context in mind the dangling SPECS subdirectory seemed odd. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
