#2291 building_package.rst out of date
Closed: MIGRATED 2 years ago by nikromen. Opened 2 years ago by doomed099.

I'm trying to figure out how to build a package for EL. I have a project with an rpkg.spec file and I was going through the documents. It says to use rpkg but that's no longer maintained and it also no longer in EPEL. What's the recommended way to proceed with this?

Hello @doomed099,

building_package.rst out of date

thank you for pointing that out, we missed that.

Just linking the document here
https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/building_package.html

What's the recommended way to proceed with this?

I will update the document so it is up-to-date.

But if I dare to presume, I think you are not in fact interested in this document but in a different one.

The "Building package" document, which we need to rename :D, is supposed to explain how to build RPM packages for the Copr code itself (a task that you would do when working on the Copr project, instead of using it).

If that's what you wanted to do, then my apologies and welcome :-)

If you are trying to build your package for EPEL, then please take look here
https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#build-source-types
especially the SCM method.

You will be able to use rpkg as it is described there.
