[Fedora-join] Bundled libraries in first proposed package to Fedora

[Marcin Haba]

Hello,

I am trying to contribute Fedora about Baculum WebGUI (BugZilla
1203018). This WebGUI uses PHP framework (PRADO framework) that is not
available in Fedora packages.

My first question is: if first should I try to contribute Fedora about
PRADO Framework and then try to contribute Fedora about Baculum? I would
not provide bundled framework to Fedora.

Second my issue is that PHP framework itself contains bundled libraries
from which part is available in Fedora packages (for example:
prototype.js,  script.aculo.us, tinymce editor...etc.) and a part that
is not available in Fedora packages.

I can try to contribute Fedora about PRADO Framework but I will need to
solve all dependencies and tune PRADO code to external libraries which
in this case will be using Fedora packages (prototype.js,
script.aculo.us, ...etc.).

Additionally I will need to contribute this part of PRADO dependencies
(3rd party code) that is not in Fedora packages (SafeHtml, FirePHP...
and others.).

I would avoid situation that at the start for provide Baculum I will
become a maintainer 30 other packages :-)

Last information is that Baculum uses raw framework without 3rd party
libraries. For preparing buildroot files in Spec I just not include 3rd
party code from upstream tar.gz archive. Maybe this information can make
something easier?

Thank you in advance for advises and any help.

Best regards.
