Hallo list again,
I just did my self-introduction and immediately I have my first questions:
1. If I want to announce and provide the packages which I produced, is
it necessary to set up a special directory tree on my server
(something like fedora/2/i386/RPMS.unstable etc.) where the packages
are made available for download?
2. I am not sure about the right Fedora tree for my packages. Most of them are stable in my opinion and could placed in testing but since these are my first Fedora packages I am thinking about to place them in unstable for the start. What do you think?
3. I don't know which official group I should use. For the libraries
this is rather easy. But I don't what to do with GIS software
(perhaps Applications/Productivity). It is even more difficult with
geodata. They don't seem to fit to any group of RH (s.
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/RPMGroups). Any idea?
Ciao,
Silke
Check out the QA and Submission policy link at www.fedora.us: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy
OK. This does help for point 1. Sorry for asking this stupid question. But I still don't know what to do with 2. and 3. Of course I could let this open for the QA-people but I think it does make sense to fill in the right values from the very beginning.
Thanks,
Silke
They aren't stupid questions. :)
2) I think its best left up to you. QA people will comment on what they think about you're decision when you submit the package. If you aren't sure as to the stability of your package, I'd put it in unstable. Move it later, when you feel its ready.
3) I think Applications/Productivity is a fine place to put GIS software, but again, your decision.
Neil
