Feel free to ping me on freenode #fedora-devel, or #fedora-bigdata. We've been doing a fair amount of packaging lately, and could offer up tips where needed. I often find the best starting point is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers You will want to also read: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java Cheers, Tim ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tako Schotanus" <tschotan@xxxxxxxxxx> > To: devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Friday, November 22, 2013 6:58:03 AM > Subject: Introduction > > > Hi, > > I read that somebody wanting to be a package maintainer should introduce > themselves, well here goes. > > I'm Tako, a Software Engineer for Red Hat working on a new language, Ceylon > (http://ceylon-lang.org), that runs on top of the Java and Javascript VMs. > We just published out first 1.0.0 and although we already had RPMs (and > ZIPs and DEBs) that could be downloaded from our website for a while now > we'd like to add the package to the official Fedora repositories now that > we're at 1.0.0 (also because Ubuntu is working on getting the package into > their repos and as a RedHat sponsored project it would be weird if we didn't > do the same for Fedora, right?) > > So I'm completely new to this packaging business, I managed to piece together > a SPEC file that results in an actually working RPM for our project and even > Koji seems to accept it, but there's so much information to absorb that I'm > feeling a bit out of my depth.
