Steps
# Attempt to address each of the errors or warnings. Adding <code>-i</code> to the ''rpmlint'' command line will provide informative messages about the cause of each error; the [[:fedora:Common_Rpmlint_issues|Common Rpmlint issues]] page may also be a useful resource.
#* If you cannot address each of the errors and warnings, refer to the [[:fedora:Main_Page|Fedora wiki]] or use IRC and/or email to ask a Fedora packager, classmate, or your professor for assistance.
 
{Admon/tip|Errors vs. Warnings|Errors are considered fatal and must be corrected. Warnings are considered undesirable in some cases but may be ignored. This distinction is significant!-- for example, if an RPM package has errors, it won't pass the [[:fedora:Package Review Processs|Fedora package review process]], but if it has an warning, it may pass package review if there's a good reason to ignore the warning]].
= Deliverables =
Write a blog post about your experience building these packages. Include notes about what worked and didn't work, and include a link to the spec files, SRPMs, and RPMs (you can host the files on your Matrix or Zenit account), plus the rpmlint output.
