Putting repos on a fedorapeople page is not unheard of. >why there are delays in the first place. On a related point, do we have >good documentation on the entire process? If there is a need for more to No. I think our documentation of the entire push process doesn't exist. Some of it we don't want to exist, like how to get onto the signing machine. Some of it really can't be documented because it's dealing with issues as they come up in one form or another and there is no "common" error scenario. Other parts are changing at a somewhat rapid pace as we introduce new fixes and features. I think the best way to start is to get better documentation on the various software components involved first. Those would be bodhi, mash, createrepo, and deltarpm for the most part. Bodhi and mash would be good (and daunting) places to start. >help with signing the packages, I can volunteer (assuming you let me). Signing is not the hurdle. Adding more people to help there won't really make anything faster. We're also toying with making koji do auto-signing at build time, which makes it basically go away. I do appreciate the offer though. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
