How do I join fedoraproject

[mouse_runner]

Yes, here's a list.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/firefox


If you want to help, submit a package that isn't included in the repo's and get sponsored .

are there any requirements in order to join.. like being familiar with rpmbuilding/programming software??

[RahulSundaram]

Hi,

Programming is not necessarily a requirement although it would help for most packages. What is necessary is learning how to write and modify RPM spec files to automate the process of building a binary from a upstream source.

There are no requirements to join, I don't know any programming languages at all but some basic rpmbuilding skills would be useful.
The documentation is good and if I ever get stuck on a issue, I can ask on IRC or my sponsor Rex Dieter.

Try using rpmdevtools to create the spec file template for you ;)

yum install rpmdevtoolsto create a spec file for example 'torium' ( standard configure type sourcecode )

rpmdev-newspec toriumFor a python based sourcecode example gmixer

rpmdev-newspec -t python gmixer
[leigh@localhost ~]$ rpmdev-newspec --help
rpmdev-newspec generates new rpm .spec files from templates.

Usage: rpmdev-newspec [option]... [appname[.spec]]

Options:
-o FILE, --output FILE
Output the specfile to FILE. "-" means stdout. The default is
derived from <appname>, or "newpackage.spec" if <appname> is
not given.
-t TYPE, --type TYPE
Force use of the TYPE spec template. The default is guessed
from <appname>, falling back to "minimal" if the guesswork
does not result in a more specific one or if <appname> is not
given. Available types:
dummy lib minimal ocaml perl php-pear python R ruby
-m, --macros Emit templates using macros instead of shell style variables.
-h, --help Show this usage message and exit.
-v, --version Print version information and exit.

System wide configuration file is /etc/rpmdevtools/newspec.conf.



Then just fill in the details

Only CVS builds show up on koji. ( the koji command gives the link to the build )

[mouse_runner]

so my build is completed succesfully?

Yes (Green link for good, Red link for Failed) Just follow the link i.e

buildArch (gtk-gnutella-0.96.7-1.fc11.src.rpm, i586) (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2051874)

You can list your builds.

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?state=closed&owner=evert&view=tree&method=all&order=-completion_time

[mouse_runner]

i am a bit lost

i figured out that my previous built has been a scratch built, en therefore will be deleted after one week

therefore i did:
@localhost ~]$ koji build dist-f11-updates-candidate 'gtk-gnutella-0.96.7-1.fc11.src.rpm'
and also:
@localhost ~]$ koji build dist-f11 'gtk-gnutella-0.96.7-1.fc11.src.rpm'

but both buils failed:
FAILED: ActionNotAllowed: policy violation

what policy do i violate?????

Hi,


Turns out I was wrong about this and anyone with a FAS account is allowed access as long as they have downloaded the user certificate. If you have a problem with that, come up to #fedora-admin channel in freenode and ask.

i seemt to be up and running.

Hi Leigh!

I would like to be a Fedora packager. I have some experience in building rpm packages. What I have to do to be accepted as a Fedora packager?

Cheers,

Create a package and submit it for review ( you need a proven packager to sponsor you as well )

[skytux]

I have created and submited a package as you can see here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575466

Now I am looking for sponsorship! :rolleyes:
