Okay. If you haven't already, you'd probably want to post on the "devel"
mailing list asking for a sponsor.

 
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel%40lists.fedoraproject.org/

If you *have* asked already and didn't get a response within a few days, you
can just bump the email thread. It's a busy mail list, so you have potentially
many readers, but also many other messages to compete against. So if no one
notices, just post again :)

Include a description of your package, DomTerm, and a link back to this
Bugzilla thread.


> * It would be helpful to update the libwebsockets package (to version 2.2),

Looks like updates are in the works. This thread is full of automated messages
about detecting and trying to build for 2.2, then falling back to 2.1.1.

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1422477

If that thread closes with only a 2.1.1 build, you could manually open a ticket
about updating to 2.2.x.

Hmm, that may or may not be something you'd want or need to put in a
subpackage. I haven't needed to do anything like that yet, so I'm not sure. The
Fedora RPM Guide talks only a little about subpackages...

 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch10s04.html

And there's not much in the Wiki about when to use a subpackage or not, so this
might be something to ask your future sponsor.

You've been writing your docs in Troff format so far. Especially if you're
planning on also doing HTML or other formats, you might like the idea of
writing the documentation in Markdown, or another more readable markup
language, and then converting to whatever other formats with tools like pandoc
or cmark, or other document converters.

Just a thought. I personally would to maintain a nontrivial document in Troff.

True :) If DomTerm is usable now, then I don't think there's much point in
waiting to package it. I mean, the timing is up to you. But you'll surely get
more and better feedback when it's easier to install the application.
