Draft of a .spec file for RPM building

Really this is me learning how all this works on github

We want an RPM that will install DevCamps on RHEL 5 x86_64 just as we typically do by hand:

• Create the camp user & group
• Install ~camp with a frozen Git checkout from devcamps.org and symlinks into it
• Make it depend on:
  ** local-perl
  ** local-perl(Yaml::Syck)
  ** local-perl(File::pushd)
  ** local-perl(DBI)
• Don't predetermine whether it'll use Postgres or MySQL for the camp master database; that'll still have to be set up manually
• Install any other goodies you've made for SpreeCamps.com
• Whatever else I'm forgetting

Can you imagine separate additional packages for MySQL and Postgres support?

Yes, we have goodies, many of the SELinux fcontext policy management flavor.

If you feel it makes sense to have separate -mysql and -postgresql packages, go for it.

I think I'll create separate camps-selinux and camps-index packages. The SELinux policy package will be according to Fedora's guidelines:

I've got an initial working RPM built, with Bill's help.

We'll be expanding what it can do (such as set up the initial Postgres database) and then will release it.
