At the moment the spec file has 8.92 That's right - I was using 8.92 for Beta. Once the PO file have come in -- since I always forget to it before I make the POT :-) -- I'll change the .spec file and the rpm-info.xml file to reflect 9.0.0 instead. > * In the "Building" section, "You can then carry the .src.rpm file to > the Fedora Package CVS, in the fedora-release-notes/devel module, and > run cvs-import.sh <SRPM_FILE> to update everything automatically.". > Where is the "cvs-import" script, and will running "cvs-import" carry > the source RPM, do do I use cvs import for that? The cvs-import.sh script is in the common files for Fedora Packages CVS -- it's not part of our build toolchain at all. You just run it against the .src.rpm and it does all the heavy lifting. This part I will probably handle this time, since I already have package maintainership there. (And in fact that's the one part of the responsibility I'd like to maintain, although I'm happy to have a co-maintainer.) Since people doing package-monkey duties need to have a better familiarity with the software maintenance policies, etc., I'd recommend that you try maintaining a small package yourself before taking this part on. I just wanted to make sure it was documented for posterity. Thanks for calling this part out for notice! > * "make tag build" - is this all I have to do? This is part of the package maintenance, but yes. You can read more at the Packaging pages: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging > * Once translation is complete, do I only need to run "make release-srpm"?
