Some new documentation pages on the Wiki

by Stewart Adam

Hi, First of all, sorry for all the Wiki spam - I know a few of you subscribe to all changes so as I was messing around with the page layouts, I probably filled up your inbox with a bunch of messages. I've added some new places on the Wiki where we can publish documentation about packages as well as some user guides: * http://rpmfusion.org/Package * http://rpmfusion.org/Howto The Package/PackageName pages are for individual packages, where as the Howto/Howtoname pages are for grouped items (for example, "DVD playback" where we could recommend installing gstreamer-plugins-ugly, totem-xine and xine-lib-extras-nonfree) or for more complex tasks such as choosing the right nVidia driver series for your card. To add your own package page, follow these steps: 1. Browse to http://rpmfusion.org/Package/YourPackageName and fill in information about the package. I haven't come up with a template yet, but I think a good place to start is "== What is PackageName? ==" along with sections for installing, configuring (if applicable), and troubleshooting/FAQ. 2. At the very end of your page, add this so that it gets added to the Package category: ---- CategoryPackage 3. The last step is to add your package to the list at http://rpmfusion.org/Package: * [[Package/YourPackageName|YourPackageName]] Adding a howto is roughly the process, but instead browse to http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/AShortName and use "CategoryHowto" at the end of your page instead of "CategoryPackage". You'll also need to add the howto to the list at http://rpmfusion.org/Howto: * [[Howto/ShortName|A Long(er) Name]] There's definitely room for improvement, but let me know what you think! Stewart

RFC: staging repo

by Thorsten Leemhuis

Hi all! I suppose a lot of people won't like the following idea (some people will say that it's totally crazy and will hurt Fedora/RPM Fusion), but I'll put it up for comments nevertheless: Should we open a "staging" repo in addition to the free and nonfree repos which would hold unreviewed packages that could be improved in the staging area in a wiki-like style and then easily transferred to the proper repos? Background: there are way to many 3rd party repos out there that hold a lot of useful Fedora packages -- see http://rpmfusion.org/FedoraThirdPartyRepos for examples. It seems it's to complicated, time consuming or simply not worth the trouble for the package maintainers to bring those packages trough the review to get them into Fedora's or RPM Fusion's proper repos. I for example had asked Gérard Milmeister (gemi) if he wanted to submit PovRay to RPM Fusion nonfree (he has it in this gemi repo), as I seldomly (maybe once a year for about 10 or 30 minutes) need it for benchmarking systems. He answered > I would have rather have someone already involved with rpmfusion take > over the package. My repository IS in fact meant for other people to > use the packages as a basis for inclusion in "offical" Fedora > repositories. [...] I suppose other add-on repo maintainers have similar or other good reasons to avoid the time consuming review process. Which is understandable, but far from ideal for Fedora/RPM Fusion. Hence the above idea; the maintainers of external repos thus would use our cvs, build and download infra (makes it things easier for them) and others maintainers could help to improve the packages in a wiki-like way (which results in better packages that likely are easy to review later). Yes, I'm well aware that this has a big downside over time: Why review packages for the proper repo all all when there is a staging repo? I have no good answer to that besides making it a bit harder then usually to find and use the staging repo. But I thing it's worth the risk trying, as that way we get a lot of packages under our hood and from there into the proper RPM Fusion and Fedora repos, resulting in a better user experience and thus happier users. Comments? Cu knurd
