Introduction ------------ Hello. I'm Tobias Angele (20 years old) and I want to contribute to fedora packaging the intellij idea package. I've made already some (really small) contributions, e.g. to debian: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wicd.git/log/?qt=author&q=toogley and https://github.com/AndreaCrotti/yasnippet-snippets/commits?author=toogley . Additionally, I have some experience in Java(with maven)/C#/bash/object-orientated programming, but nothing big. * Github: https://github.com/toogley * GPG Key: https://keys.fedoraproject.org/pks/lookup?search=0xf20c5878e65b3b3a&op=vindex * IRC Nick: freenode -> toogley * FAS: toogley, FPCA is signed Packaging ------------ I've found http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/intellij-idea.git/ - I guess I can base my work on the spec file there, which I'm currently trying to understand, update and build. I think the best option for me is to create a github repo for packaging in the beginning. (as you probably don't trust me :D) I have already read or am reading https://fedoramagazine.org/day-life-fedora-packager/ and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package * Are there some important documents I should additionally read? * Do you have some tips for starting packaging, or dealing with the legacy status of the package? * I'm used to gpg-sign my git commits/tags by default. Should I continue this practice while packaging? I've read somewhere that some people don't want that, therefore my question. Thanks :) -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
