Introduction

Spectacle is the toolset for packaging maintenance of MeeGo, including the tool to generate spec files from metadata file in YAML format, and tools to convert spec files or spec-builder's ini files to YAML format.

For spectacle managed packages, all generic packaging information will be stored in the YAML file, and it also allows maintaining customizations in the spec file directly with special enclosure tags.

Three separated tools will be installed:

  • specify: the tool to generate or to update spec file, based on YAML
  • ini2spectacle: the tool to convert spec-builder .ini to YAML and new spec file
  • spec2spectacle: the tool to convert original spec to YAML and new spec file

Installation
