That looks like the thing, thanks for the pointer.

 Well, assuming that nobody else takes it, and also assuming that you're
 not already a packager, you can head to
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers
 for the huge, massive list of steps involved.

Thanks, might try it if I have a particularly boring day.


 IM Minor issue that still needs sorted out with .spec file: the source
 IM is hosted at bitbucket, which means that the source package gets
 IM downloaded through a redirection URL by commit id and also contains
 IM an extra subdirectory level, I haven't found a REST request yet that
 IM can get round that.

 That's OK;
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Troublesome_URLs tells
 you what to do.

Is it acceptable to repackage the tarball too? The prep stage seems to
expect a particular structure within it.
