Hello,
My name is David Nichols, and I'm the author of the Qore programming language.
I've recently made a package submission request to Fedora for Qore, which is under review here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1111691
I've been running fedora (and before that redhat) for many years, and use fedora and redhat extensively at home and at work.
I've been packaging qore with RPM for many years, but now I'm getting into Fedora-specific packaging, and have found that my RPM skills were out of date and, even though I've been providing 3rd-party RPMs for Fedora for many years, I have found through the review process that I had a lot to learn.
Fortunately there is a lot of documentation, and also I've gotten a lot of constructive advise in the qore review.
My goal is to become the maintainer of Qore for Fedora, and since I'm responsible for upstream development as well, I can make sure that the Fedora packages remain high-quality.
I hope everyone who has read this far has a great day :)
thanks, David
