[Bug] Dead link in beginners guide
Problem
Beginners guide Creating a New Project explains the RPM spec file and says
For the complete spec file, see https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:obsgeeko/my-first-obs-package/my-first-obs-package.spec
Unfortunately it looks like the home:obsgeeko also got "garbage collected" because there were not activities for a long time.
Impact
An absolute beginner in packaging might get stuck here. The spec file listed in the tutorial is not suitable for the package sources that were downloaded from GitHub previously, some build receipes for cmake are missing and also the build dependency for gcc-c++.
This leads to the situation, that a beginner wont't get an RPM package but confusing errors in his build attempts.
What is needed?
Either restore the home:obsgeeko/my-first-obs-package so that we don't end up in a 404 or use the real spec file for the example file listed in the tutorial. So then a beginner can copy it from there.
