What software is missing in the Fedora repository?
by Rahul Sundaram 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi, I am doing a quick survey for software that you use on a regular basis that is not available via the Fedora repository. Software that you suggest should be free and open source, free of patent and other legal issues. Tell me the home page of the software and give me a brief description on what it does. Bonus points if you can see in Google for "software-name fedora package review" to figure it if it is already in the Fedora package review queue. If you know of RPM packages in other distributions for the software your are suggesting, that information is useful as well. Rahul

Testing required for menumaker RPM
by Gireesh Sreekantan 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, In follow up to this thread[1], I have managed to create a RPM for menumaker[2]. The rpm and the spec file can be found here[3]. If anyone is interested, couple of harmless commands to try out: $mmaker fluxbox -c|less $info mmaker (the source doesn't a provide a man page) This being my *first ever* rpm package, I don't expect it to be 100% correct. I would gladly welcome feedback. [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-india@redhat.com/msg01432.html [2] http://menumaker.sourceforge.net [3] http://gsreekantan.fedorapeople.org/ Note: works fine on F10. On F11, some of the commands throw harmless(IMHO) python deprecation warnings. I suspect these are due to the move to python 2.6. - -- Gireesh Sreekantan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkoi3DoACgkQji0bnveIaEajAwCfcOEoRZp2z3W7gWyJ2SIXPRt1 ML0Amwbt7FzgGKnqtxpfm8Uyhl30v0Yo =+nxR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I remember using deb only my ubuntu. Dont know how to do the same thing in Fedora I was hoping if someone could help me with that. -- Hermes Think Free, Think Open Source

Hi https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-June/msg02332.html "we'd like to announce the 'Fit and Finish' initiative for Fedora, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fit_and_Finish with the goal to improve the user experience of the Fedora desktop. We want to identify the small (and sometimes large) roadblocks that make everyday computer use harder than it needs to be, and try to fix them." Rahul
