Hi Dave,

thanks for your interest in the package and thanks for referencing the
URL to my Review Request 666763.

Following suggestions from a couple of kind Fedora packagers and
developers, I have now made available a third release (1.3.2-3) at the
following URL:
http://iz6rdb.trentalancia.com/en/ax_emergency_listen-1.3.2-3.src.rpm

In brief, the latest release features:

- a much improved description of the package;
- an init script and a daemonizer helper script so that the software
can be optionally run in way similar to a service (by the way,
suggestions are very much welcome on better ways to daemonize it
without modifying the source code);
- a simple configuration file to be placed in /%{_sysconfdir}/sysconfig
according to Fedora packaging guidelines.

However the package still needs to be sponsored and reviewed by someone.
Do I need to do koji builds before that can happen or should I just
wait ?

Regards,

Guido

  yes, of course, I have filed a review request.
 
 Hi Guido - thanks for doing this.

New contributed package available for review: ax_emergency_listen

2011-01-03 Thread Guido Trentalancia
Hello everybody,

I would like to contribute a small package that I wrote for inclusion in
the Fedora distribution.

It falls under Applications/Communications and it is a small utility
which can be used to monitor for emergency packets in an APRS network.
APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is an amateur radio based
digital communication system for real-time exchange of digital
information to users on the network.

The name of the package is ax_emergency_listen and I have made available
version 1.3.2. It is a command-line utility and it can execute commands
upon receiving emergency packets on APRS (so, for example, it can send
out email or SMS alerts).

The package contains a manual page, it supports building using autoconf
and automake and it just needs to be reviewed.

I think I might need a so-called sponsor before the package can be
included in Fedora.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Guido Trentalancia
