Re: How to get packager sponsorship
Sometimes sponsorship is quite easy, this is unfair to other people around: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1048966 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

Review your own package? New contributors can also review their own package and show what things they found in their package like how they found they have correct upstream source matching checksum, how they found license tag for their package, what rpmlint output they found etc. This applies even for other packages also waiting for review. But, here what Michael want to point out that people waiting for their package review who are also waiting for sponsorship should at least look into http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/NEEDSPONSOR.html and provide their review findings so that other people will come to know any issues in their package and they can be updated/progressed further. I think the aim of the review process is, that a second one should have a look on your package to verify, that your package mmets the package guidelines and so on. For a new contributor, if he submitted many packages then whichever package first gets reviewed should get approved by sponsor member. Most people may be blind against thier onw mistakes, so it makes sense that anonther one take a look on the package which should introduced to Fedora.

Many packager sponsors consider that a problem. I'm not the spokesperson of all packager sponsors, though. ;) Yes, I share this concern. Doing informal reviews is a significant part of getting sponsored. I'd expect packagers to review their own review requests (just to be sure, the first review doesn't fail for quite obvious reasons).

Review your own package? Of course! Everybody may review packages and even post the results. Approving packages is something else. I think the aim of the review process is, that a second one should have a look on your package to verify, that your package mmets the package guidelines and so on. Sure. That's the requirement for approval. You can only submit packages, which meet the guidelines, if you review your own package. ;) Most people may be blind against thier onw mistakes, so it makes sense that anonther one take a look on the package which should introduced to Fedora. According to that theory, they would introduce the same mistakes once the package has entered the collection, ... because there is no review process for updates/upgrades anymore. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
