Hi, I have been a Fedora user since 7 upto 9. I also use Scala (www.scala-lang.org) a lot in my work. After seeing this [1] announcement on the Scala website, I thought I would chip-in for maintaining a Scala package for Fedora, and do my bit for both of these excellent communities. Trouble is that I have never done such a thing before. I have never compiled my own RPM, ever. I am looking at the package maintainers guide [2] right now and I am confident of following the details. But I need some baby-sitting for some top-level questions: * Is this the right list for asking questions about applications based on Java? * The creating-package-howto [3] says that we need to begin with pristine-sources and not use pre-compiled binaries. Is this applicable for Java packages too? Is pre-compiled to byte-code considered pristine enough? ;) Thanks in advance, Harshad [1] http://www.scala-lang.org/node/296 [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo -- fedora-devel-java-list mailing list fedora-devel-java-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-java-list
