1. Download the current src.rpm for the package they are trying to build from sparemint and install it.
From sparemint.org, or sparemint.atari-source.org? I cannot see sources on sparemint.atari-source.org anyway.
4. Update any patches, examine the build output to make sure that everything goes in the freemint specified places.
What if I changed something in the source? Should the source-rpm contain the original source and the diffs or the ready-to-go-sources and diffs?
5. Install the RPM and test it for a little while. 6. Send me your completed src.rpm which is in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/
I will need some time to get this right, I think. -Helmut
