Subject: Re: Publican Issues for RNs
Can Jeff Fearn or some other knowledgeable person explain
Unfortunately, I don't know all the players that well. A Jeff did come on
to the phone call the other night, and I got the impression that he had
something to do with Publican. Eric had indicated that making it a switch
would require massive work, although the other night the possibility that it
might not be all that bad was raised. There was even talk of putting it
into the Fedora template but perhaps that was only wishful thinking.
Publican also has a 'make tar-<LANG>' target for making just the tarball.
Even make srpm leaves the tar laying around, but if it is already willing to
have a shot at the spec file why not let it do that work too.
It might be helpful to have David or someone to describe the
exact issue with the .desktop file here, or just point us to a bug
Clearly I don't understand this bit at all, and that has to be the next
place to dig. Eric was the one who had his srpm refused, so perhaps if
Eric, David and myself, or perhaps someone else knowledgable can get
together we can sort it out.
I'm looking at Publican to see whether we could
add the needed stuff to /usr/share/publican/make/Makefile.fedora
Eric knows exactly what has to happen inside Publican, he just didn't know
how to make it optional.
I'm not completely Makefile-ignorant
I'm not either, but I'm hardly a maestro.
We really do not want to have to punt this again
for lack of elbow grease.
I think even worst case it isn't too bad, but the smoother we can make it
the better. Maybe that is selfish -- I want to have it easy next time ;-)
