Hi,
I wrote my first little program using python/pyotherside. I develop
directly on the jolla-device (no sdk) and would like to build a rpm
package to distribute to openrepos (and later to harbour, if python is
accepted). What is the prefered (easiest) way?
Well, I'm for example using OBS to build packages for my Python/PyOtherSide based modRana application (the modRana package available from OpenRepos since last week[2] was build on the Mer OBS)
and the other possibility is the already mentioned rmbuild utility.

Both boil down to basically one thing - you need source code archive (tarball) and metadata file (spec file).

For example, this is[3] my tarball & the (rather crazy) specfile for building the modRana package.

As you can see, the specfile just has some metadata like application & author name, version,
names of dependencies and listing of files and where they should end.

So basically what you can do is take a specfile (the modRana one or some less crazy one), modify it to describe your application and use it to build your own packages with OBS or the rpmbuild utility.

With best wishes
Martin Kolman

PS.: Official documentation/support for building Python applications for Sailfish would still be welcome. :)
