Category:Spec

spec files are used by rpmbuild and osc build to create rpm packages from a collection of source and configuration files.

Mer spec files have no %changelog section and use a .changes file which is the authoritative source of the Version and Release values.

In Mer, spec files are usually created by spectacle from yaml files.
