Modularity is still confusing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm still very confused about how to do modular packaging in Fedora. I
don't know:

1. How do I create a module for a new Fedora package?
2. How do I create a module for my existing non-modular Fedora package?
3. How do I declare BuildRequires on my build dependencies from another module?
4. How do I declare Requires on my runtime dependencies from another module?
5. How do I know what modules are available?
6. How do I figure out which packages are in a particular module?
7. How do I find out what module a particular package is in?

Learning modularity, now that the primary maintainer for most of the
Java build ecosystem in Fedora is orphaning their non-modular
packages, has become very important for several of my packages, but
I'm still struggling to find where these basic answers are documented.
I'm a loyal Fedora user, but a novice packager, and still occasionally
struggle with basic non-modular packaging tasks. Understanding modular
packaging seems to be even harder to find clear, step-by-step
instructions to follow, than regular non-modular packaging
instructions, which I'm still not an expert with.

The answers to these questions should be clear, step-by-step
command-line instructions, or specific examples of a SPEC file
modification. Where can I find that kind of documentation? I know I've
attempted to ask similar questions in the past, but I just haven't
seen good documentation in response. Is there anybody who really,
truly, understands how to do modular packaging well enough to write a
clear step-by-step instructions for the rest of us to follow?

Thanks,

Christopher
