Greetings!
Welcome!
My name is John S. Arntz I just signed up for this list and would like to
introduce myself. I have used Fedora since Fedora 5 and love the packages that
RPMFusion offers (Before RPMFusion I used FreshRPMs). I'm not a programmer, but
I know enough to make a basic package. I plan to make my first package
submission to Bugzilla soon, fceux, an NES Emulator based on FCE Ultra. My
first question, though, where would be a good place to host the .spec and .srpm
files? I don't have a website anwhere. I'm aware of sites like rapidshare,
megaupload, qshare, and mediafire. But I'm not sure if those would be the best
places to host the files. Once I am able to find a place to post them, I will
take the plunge and file my submission for review.
I know these, but AFAIK they only use Italian language:
http://it.altervista.org/
http://xoom.virgilio.it/
Also, the source contains gfceux which is a GTK Glade frontend based on GFCE
Ultra. How should I handle packaging this? Should I make them two separate
packages and submissions, since they are actually two builds included in
the same tarball and have to be built separately, or as a sub-package of
fceux? The .spec files that I have made are based upon fce-ultra and
gfce-ultra's .spec files so as they exist now, I have them as two unique
packages. You feedback is greatly appreciated.
I disagree with Hans. I would make two separate packages. I still
don't know why upstream put them in the same tarball. They are
different programs in every aspect: one is made in C and the other in
python, they have different build systems and so on. There is no
correlation between the two. I did ask upstream some time ago about
releasing different tarball: one for fceux and the other for gceux.
They told me they would have done so, but it seems they forgot. I
think it is time someone else nag them :)
Yes, that seems like valid reasoning to break the 1 tarbal 1 srpm rule.
Regards,
Hans
