Fedora has a peer-reviewed process for adding software to the distribution. Our model is currently based on .spec files in a common CVS repository; we do not work in terms of SRPMs, except as a transmission format during initial review. > Is > that reasonable to expect such kind of cooperation or am I over simplifying? > > To start, I'd like to upload the NetBeans Platform 6.0.1.

Unfortunately the wiki appears to be down so I can't get the link for you. But the basic idea is to file a bug at http://bugzilla.redhat.com in the Fedora product, component "Package Review". See this bug for an example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433070 -- fedora-devel-java-list mailing list fedora-devel-java-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-java-list
