+# Element Desktop RPM packaging
+
+This repository builds an RPM package from the upstream Element Desktop Linux
+x86_64 tarball:
+
+`https://packages.element.io/desktop/install/linux/glibc-x86-64/element-desktop.tar.gz`
+
+## What it does
+
+- Downloads the current upstream tarball.
+- Derives the version from the tarball root directory.
+- Repackages the prebuilt binaries into an RPM.
+- Removes the upstream auto-update manifest so RPM remains the update path.
+- Sets `resources/package-type` to `rpm`.
+- Supports COPR SCM builds through `.copr/Makefile`.
+
+## Local builds
+
+Build a source RPM:
+
+```sh
+make srpm
+```
+
+Build a binary RPM and source RPM:
+
+```sh
+make rpm
+```
+
+Artifacts are written to `dist/`.
+
+## COPR
+
+Use COPR's SCM source type with:
+
+- Clone URL: this repository
+- Spec file: `SPECS/element-desktop.spec`
+- SRPM build method: `make srpm`
+
+COPR will invoke `.copr/Makefile`, which calls the same SRPM generation script
+used for local builds. That script downloads the upstream tarball during the
+SRPM stage, so no vendored source archive is required in git.
