Source repositories on GitHub

[Will Benton]

Hi Javi,

The "typical workflow" on the wiki page has two parts that might rely on github:

1.  creating patched source trees for a given project that build under Fedora and meet guidelines (and then either maintaining those patches against updated upstream sources or -- ideally -- getting those patches committed upstream), and
2.  maintaining a repository to track work on RPM packaging metadata (spec, patches, etc.)

Of these, #1 doesn't strictly depend on github, although it is vastly easier to use github if the upstream project is also so doing.  #2 doesn't really depend on github at all; you just should have a place to store your work for packages that haven't yet been accepted into Fedora. (Of course, #2 is no longer necessary once the package is accepted into Fedora, since then it will have its own repository in distgit.)

Please feel free to make edits to the wiki pages where they are unclear!


best,
wb
