In a way, I can understand. It's a way of figuring out if those that ask
the questions are actually serious about learning or not. Those that
want to learn are likely to find the answer that way, and if they still
have some questions or don't understand something, can explain just what
they have a problem with.

Yes, just not as it is the ONLY answer to each questions. As if saying:
"Don't ask any questions. If you need to ask, you shouldn't do any
packaging."


The st00pid thing is that when you look around openSUSE.org, you can
find examples on how to pacvkage GNOME or KDE package¹s, but when you
just want to package a script, the answer was: sorry, it is not possible
to make an example, because ther are so many thing to consider, please
first learn about RPM.

Which is completely wrong. Packaging a script is about the easiest thing
you can do.

I would have thought so as well, but just look at the openSUSE page or
see the questions that e.g. jdd asked in the packaging mailinglist.

A while ago I just realy asked if somebody could put a sample for
standard and the answer was no.

So: thank you Pascal Blesser for me not being interested anymore in
packaging.

and why. Then do it.
