SpecFile

SpecFiles are used as part of RPM (and, in our case, Debian) packages. relman only passes the information of which SpecFile template should be used to pkgmake, which then processes this template to create the SpecFiles used by the packaging system. Moreover, relman can append certain information (as the architecture and requirements) to the HTML version of the DescFile (see the article for DescFile in this wiki for more information).
