    RPM SPEC files?

    Hello,

    I'm trying to install radare and under the binary section for fedora it has a .spec file. It this a sort of script for the rpm command? I found a lot of info on how to make spec files but nothing on what they are or how to use them. So I have a radare.spec file, how can I use it to install the program?

    The .spec file is one of the main files from building a source file into an RPM package. It's the file that states what needs to be installed, where it needs to be installed, and what needs to be done on the system during the package installation.

    Is there not a pre-built RPM available for this application? If so it sounds like you already have everything you need to make your own RPM. It can seem pretty hectic if you do not have experience doing it but it is doable! Here's an indepth Fedora article on building your own RPM:
