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
