An RPM is software you're going to install and use on a machine. An SRPM is an RPM that contains your sourcecode and spec file, from which someone can build their own RPM.</div><div><br></div><div>Second, what you should be doing in your install section. Your install section should be moving your files from your source directory into the RPM_BUILD_ROOT. Did you take a look at the document I linked in your last thread?</div><div><br></div><div>Third, %install... If you would prefer, add a makefile to your source tar and call its install target. Otherwise just manually move the files to where they need to go.</div><div><br></div><div>I notice you don't have a %files manifest yet, that'll be next.</div><div><br></div><div>-Scott</div><div><br>On Jun 2, 2013, at 10:02 PM, "Narahari 'n' Savitha" <<a href="mailto:savithari@gmail.com">savithari@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Friends:<br><br></div>I am building an rpm for Apache Tomcat version 7.0.37.<br><br></div>Sorry to ask a lame question but what is the diff between src rpm and regular rpm ?<br>
