Oh my god, why is Linux packaging so difficult, if you are starting from scratch and with no previous experience.
Both RPM and DEB packaging process is just more difficult then it should be. Python figured it out with single simple pyproject.toml (and PEP 723 on its way).
For RPM, you need a spec file with not-so-clearly documented macros -- WHY??
