How to check if someone is already working on a package/ Self Introduction

by James Harshaw

Hello, my name is James Wilson Harshaw IV, but I usually go by bits3rpent. I am a programmer who is looking to really wanting to get involved in open source projects. I recently was looking at some of the requests for software on the Fedora Security Spin page, and I found a software that I also would like, reaver-wps. I am currently learning how to package software with SRPMS and SPEC files, but I want to see if anyone is already working on packaging reaver-wps before I start. Is there anyway to check if someone is working on it? I did a quick bug search on bugzilla and got this " * *Status:* NEW, VERIFIED, ASSIGNED, MODIFIED, ON_DEV, ON_QA, RELEASE_PENDING, POST * *Product:* reaver-wps * *Component:* reaver-wps * *Alias:* reaver-wps * *Summary:* reaver-wps * *Whiteboard:* reaver-wps * *Content:* "reaver-wps" " Thanks in advance for your answers. -bits3rpent

guidelines for go?

by Matthew Miller

I've been asked to help package / review a project written in Go. Since the language is new, we don't have packaging guidelines (unless I've missed them!), and I'm a Go newbie myself, so I'm left with some questions. The first question I have is over the location of packages -- the library modules. The ones that are part of golang are under %{_libdir}/golang/src/pkg. Should third-party packages go alongside, or % elsewhere? Also it appears that Go programs compiled with the canonical golang are statically linked (http://golang.org/doc/faq#Why_is_my_trivial_program_such_a_large_binary). Gccgo supports dynamic linking, but I'm not sure about compatibility issues. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

Re: [Fedora-packaging] up* httrack

by Christopher Meng

This package httrack, may have some problems in itself. As far as I can see from Google, 3.4[3-5] to higher also have this problem on other distros. I can see gentoo bug and debian bug of this, too. So I think the symlinks are created by upstream or whatsoever. I did a major update to httrack days ago: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/httrack.git/commit/?id=c77279fcf284433... You can see I didn't change any major things. Just spec cleanup, remove obsoleted or not found files only. Panu has some words at below places since 08', 3 of them are very interesting: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433096 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484240 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975909 I believe I've received similar discussion emails in this year, too. %pretrans solution is not mentioned in packaging scriptlet page of wiki, I think we should add it before there comes a solution forever. I've fixed the update problem, and uploaded them to: SRPM: http://lab.cicku.me/httrack-3.47.27-1.fc21.src.rpm RPM: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5975150 Please test. ------------------- Now I meet new problem(to save the place I pasted them to fpaste): http://ur1.ca/foll0 Please tell me if this can be ignored or not...

Naming policy for adding language translation packages

by Parag Nemade

Hi, I see that we are getting more and more translations packages in Fedora and those can be installed now via yum-langpacks plugin. I found that these packages are not following uniqueness in their naming. e.g. If I look into Russian language translation packages then we have real fedora package names as tesseract-langpack-rus kde-l10n-Russian libreoffice-langpack-ru childsplay-alphabet_sounds_ru My suggestion is we should have some naming guidelines like use language codes for language translation packages e.g. for Russian language your package should end with "-ru" only. We should have some uniqueness in package names. Regards, Parag.

And the same page uses the term "upstream name" several times. Anyway, the FPC ticket suggesting clarification of the naming guidelines comments on that. > => Naming the package "ck" complies to this and you better stop wasting our time.

Python- prefix must for all python module?

by Praveen Kumar

Hi, I just came across pytz [0] package and looks like it's a python module/library and still doesn't start with python- prefix. Is it as expected or we can patch it with as naming conventions? I also went through python packaging guideline [1] and it shows that is must for python3 version of executable. Any points?
