Arduino-Makefile/packaging/fedora/README.md
Simon John 1893199dad BUNDLED_AVR_TOOLS_DIR is now set correctly using := instead of ?=,
so that installations using only the arduino-core packages that
don't have the $(ARDUINO_DIR)/hardware/tools/avr directory can
still use the avr-g++ tools found in the $PATH (/usr/bin)

Previously BUNDLED_AVR_TOOLS_DIR was set to an empty string as
the directory doesn't exist, which meant that "ifdef BUNDLED_AVR_TOOLS_DIR..."
was set rather than skipping to "else SYSTEMPATH_AVR_TOOLS_DIR...."

No user would set BUNDLED_AVR_TOOLS_DIR so the assignment operator
:= should be used not ?=

Updated the version info/changes in various locations.

How to compile an RPM

First install the dependencies as root:

yum install arduino-core perl-Device-SerialPort help2man rpm-build

From the top-level Arduino-Makefile directory you've checked out of github, run the following (as unprivileged user) to create a compressed tarball using the naming conventions required by rpmbuild:

git archive HEAD --prefix=arduino-mk-1.3.1/ -o ../arduino-mk-1.3.1.tar.gz

If you don't already have a rpmbuild setup (e.g. you've not installed the SRPM) you will need to create the directories:

mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{SOURCES,SPECS}

Then copy the tarball and specfile into those directories:

cp ../arduino-mk-1.3.1.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
cp packaging/fedora/arduino-mk.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/

Then compile. This will create a binary and source RPM:

cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
rpmbuild -ba arduino-mk.spec
