For naming of the package, please follow the Fedora guidelines for "Multiple packages with the same base name". You'll find many other styles of naming these kind of packages, both in RHEL and EPEL, but please stick with the current Fedora guidelines on this. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#multiple Also make sure your package name and none of the files in your package conflict with anything shipped in RHEL. This may require manually renaming some files. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy/#package_maintenance_and_update_policy Once you have a working spec file, you can request a dist-git repo with the exception flag because it would fall under the second bullet point for exceptions. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/#_package_review_process If the package is intended to be EPEL-only, make sure to retire the rawhide branch. -- Carl George _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
