FAQ [1]:
Contribs/new rpms
If you made a fix for a contrib RPM, then please send
the diff in the list, and CC it to Lenny.
Alternatively you can upload the package via ftp.
If you find a really cool RPM, and you would like it
to go into the Mandrake distribution, you can package
it and upload it via ftp, and send a mail to
Cooker. CC the mail to Lenny and let him know where
he can find it.
Grabbing a source RPM from freshmeat is OK, but
please remember to remove things like the Vendor:
tag, etc in the specfile. However, please don't
delete the previous changelog entries, we have to
keep the credits.
To all the persons compiling RPM's: it is highly
recommended that you check out the MDK-RPM howto
which is available on:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/howtos/mdk-rpm/
Also please note that Mandrakesoft only accepts
source RPM's as we do sanity checking. If you are
paranoid, you may sign the package with PGP. Remember
to send your public key. PGP is available on the
Linux-Mandrake crypto ftp site. You may find the
package on
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/Linux/distributions/mandrake-crypto.
