Thanks Richard! Right now my head is stuck in developer mode so I cannot think of any non-programming items that are needed, but I'm sure there will be :)<div><br></div><div>Shawn<br><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I have started packaging the development version of Drupal 8. There is still plenty of work to do (please help!) and I would also like to get the maintainers of drupal6 and drupal7 packages involved.<div><br></div><div>
Besides "simply" packaging Drupal itself, I am trying to implement some additional features:<div>
* provide RPM macros -- this will help simplify spec files</div><div>* virtual packages (i.e. "drupal8(<drupal_machine_name>)") -- this will especially help with the requiring of sub-modules</div><div>* virtual package auto-provides (parsed from *.info filenames) -- this allows a package to provide the main module itself as well as any sub-module(s) that are included</div>
<div>* virtual package auto-requires (parsed from *.info files' "dependencies[]" entries) -- this will help simplify spec files</div></div><div>* formalized packaging guidelines</div><div><br></div><div>I must give major credit for the auto provides and requires to the nodejs and npm package owners as I took a lot from their setup.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Drupal 8 itself is still in major development and this package will not be ready for Fedora for a good while. I am doing all of my work out of GitHub. If you would like to help out or review anything, please see the links below:</div>
