Hi there! I have a question about this review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889261 Is it ok to havearched BuildRequires? In my opinion they should NOT be arched, because of the reasons given in the comments of the bug. Cheers, Björn

Soft dependencies guidelines
by Miroslav Suchý 06 Jan '15

06 Jan '15

Hi, rpm 4.12, which include soft dependencies landed in F21. Are there plan to reflect this in our current Packaging Guidelines? Or we will wait till this feature will be recognized by dnf, PackageKit and others? -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCE, RHCDS Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys

jquery-ui packaging for use in OpenStack-Dashboard
by Matthias Runge 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Hey there, currently we're unbundling all used JavaScript libraries upstream in Horizon aka. OpenStack Dashboard. We currently don't have a package for jquery-ui in Fedora, e.g Debian has. The version debian has, is 1.10.1, latest release from jquery-ui upstream is 1.11.1 Of course, both versions are not that compatible, some files were renamed, etc. Would it be ok to package 1.10.1 for Fedora instead of latest version? openstack-dashboard would be the first package to depend on this.

Package that has a BR: on itself
by Darryl L. Pierce 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

For my work I'm trying to package objectweb-asm3 for EPEL7 (and asked the current maintainer to grant me co-maintainer privileges). However, in just doing a scratch build on koji to see if it builds, I get the following error in root.log: DEBUG util.py:283: Getting requirements for objectweb-asm3-3.3.1-10.el7.src DEBUG util.py:283: --> ant-1.9.2-9.el7.noarch DEBUG util.py:283: --> maven-local-3.4.1-6.el7_0.noarch DEBUG util.py:283: Error: No Package found for objectweb-asm3 How do you build a package in koji when the package requires itself to be available? -- Darryl L. Pierce <mcpierce(a)gmail.com> http://mcpierce.blogspot.com/ Famous last words: "I wonder what happens if we do it this way?"

Is there any legal barrier for packaging Popcorn Time for Fedora?
by James Abtahi 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Hi, I'm sure many of you are aware of the fact that Popcorn Time has been resurrected and forked into two separate projects. The software itself (here I'm referring get-popcorn.com version) is entirely free and open-source (GPLv3) and it has become so popular that I think we should consider adding it to the official fedora repos. Debian considered adding the original version to their repos but when the development got discontinued they abandoned the idea. Now that the project has been forked and development continued I think there is a high possibility that it may end up there soon. The software may or may not be legal depending on the place you live and I was wondering if this could be a barrier for getting Popcorn TIme accepted into official fedora repos. Please let me know what you think. Best, James Abtahi FAS: jam3s
