Hey all! I didn't post this bounty, but it came across our system and it seems like you guys might be able to earn a quick bit of money on this one: http://gun.io/contracts/16/rpm-based-install-for-etherpad-lite-on-rhel-128 Any takers? -- Rich Jones Director, Gun.io

Hi all, I have a repository $ tree -d -L 2 . └── 16 ├── i386 └── x86_64 i386 & x86_64 both contain their set of rpm. If I want to create a repo (run "yum createrepo"), would you advice me to create it at "16" level or at "i386 & x86_64" level? -- RMA.

scriptlets
by Orion Poplawski 31 May '12

31 May '12

I'm thinking it would be good if the packaging guidelines highlighted the need to have the rpm scriptlets return 0 exit codes. Some suggestions: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Scriptlets Add || : to the example scriptlet. Have a sentence or two explaining the need to do that. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives Add || : to the examples. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

Adding subpackage == new review?
by Jan Kaluža 30 May '12

30 May '12

Hi, "swift", one of the packages I maintain, introduced new shared library called "swiften" in the new "swift" version. I would like to pack this library as a subpackage, so I want to change current swift.spec to build both "swift" package and also "swiften" and "swiften-devel" packages. Do I have to resubmit the package for a review to do this? I have already asked few people and got very different answers. Regards, Jan Kaluza

Can multiple packages built from same source?
by Lin Gao 28 May '12

28 May '12

Hi, We have a package already built in Fedora called: ironjacamar, which only produces several core jars used by JBoss AS 7. We also want to built a ironjacamar standalone environment which can make the ironjacamar running without JBoss AS 7 environment, but this standalone environment has different libraries than JBoss AS 7 has. So we plan to built a overall new package called: ironjacamar-standalone, which produces the ironjacamar standalone environment, it will use the same source as the package: ironjacamar uses. I want to know if it is approved in Fedora? -- BR Lin Gao

GNULib exception link on FPC trac
by Praveen Kumar 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hi, Few days back I got a bug report [0], according to "No bundled Library packaging guideline [1]" we have to request on FPC track first if it's not granted but according to wiki [2] it's already granted. I am not able to find the FPC granted link. Can I use wiki link only in the spec? if not can someone provide the correct link.

Single review request for multiple packages
by Simone Caronni 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hello, I have one question. I would like to submit a review request for Guacamole, an HTML5 vnc and rdp client. The software itself is already packaged in separate small libraries and tools for Fedora: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/source/ http://guac-dev.org/Fedora%20Install%20Instructions Since all the pieces taken alone are quite useless, should I fill a review request for all the packages in one singular review or should I fill multiple reviews requests, one for each piece? Thanks, --Simone -- You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore (R. W. Emerson).

detailed descriptions of the categories?
by Christopher Howard 24 May '12

24 May '12

Is there a document somewhere that provides a description of each of the rpm categories? I.e., describing what a software package must do in order to qualify to be put in that category? I'm creating packages for some of my software, but it seems like it could fit in three different categories. (The categories names are quite vague anyway.) -- frigidcode.com indicium.us
