Greetings!
My name is John S. Arntz I just signed up for this list and would like to introduce
myself. I have used Fedora since Fedora 5 and love the packages that RPMFusion offers
(Before RPMFusion I used FreshRPMs). I'm not a programmer, but I know enough to make a
basic package. I plan to make my first package submission to Bugzilla soon, fceux, an NES
Emulator based on FCE Ultra. My first question, though, where would be a good place to
host the .spec and .srpm files? I don't have a website anwhere. I'm aware of sites
like rapidshare, megaupload, qshare, and mediafire. But I'm not sure if those would be
the best places to host the files. Once I am able to find a place to post them, I will
take the plunge and file my submission for review. Also, the source contains gfceux which
is a GTK Glade frontend based on GFCE Ultra. How should I handle packaging this? Should I
make them two separate packages and submissions, since they are actually two builds
included in
the same tarball and have to be built separately, or as a sub-package of fceux? The
.spec files that I have made are based upon fce-ultra and gfce-ultra's .spec files so
as they exist now, I have them as two unique packages. You feedback is greatly
appreciated.
Hi John,
Welcome!
About hosting webspace for spec / srpms in review. Let me know when you have a solution, I
have the same problem :)
Xavier, Perhaps we can provide some space on rpmfusion infra for rpmfusion contributors ?
As for how to handle the bundled gtk front-end, the rule of thumb is 1 tar bal one srpm,
so I would put it in a sub package,
Regards,
Hans
