Hi Thomas,

First step on including into Fedora Project is to adding the package into Fedora Extras. You can maintain the package through the project and it is a great way to provide your package to Fedora community.

For more information on how to join, please read: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras

It will be shown into Extras repo which users can do yum installation on your package.

For other distributions like Fermi and Scientific Linux, you may need to refer this question to them as their policy on packages inclusion maybe different.

I have seen the mined project. It is a great work for the i18n community. Looking forward to see it included into Extras.

Cheers, Leon

Hello, I'd like to contribute a package to your Linux distribution and I have a few questions:

• What is the supposed procedure for proposing a new package and getting it accepted?
• What is to be done to produce the actual package?
• If I contribute to Redhat, will the package automatically be included in Fedora, Fermi, Scientific Linux as well?
• If I contribute to Fedora, will the package automatically be included in Redhat and its other derivatives?

The package is my editor mined (http://towo.net/mined/) which is of special interest for the internationalization community. It has extensive Unicode and CJK support. It also has an intuitive user interface and supports modern interaction paradigms in the text mode terminal (e.g. mouse control and menus in xterm).

I'd appreciate comments and hints on how to proceed.

Thanks and kind regards, Thomas Wolff
