Re: Introduction + looking for a sponsor
Hi Nicolas, Thanks for the quick response! First I'm going to submit 'libldac' to Fedora since the Bluetooth package wouldn't build without it. So you're saying that I will have to rename the package to 'pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld' or 'pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-nonfree' depending on its dependencies? I'm going to ask upstream why fdk-aac is needed.

You also need to be sponsored, but if you are already a sponsored packager in Fedora, you automatically get the same status in RPM Fusion.

Hi and welcome Martyn ! - Mail original - De: Martyn Hare mar...@warofthenerd.net À: RPM Fusion developers discussion list rpmfusion-developers@lists.rpmfusion.org Envoyé: Mardi 17 Juillet 2012 14:28:18 Objet: Introduction Hi guys, I am interested in contributing emulators, games and other amusements which can't be included in Fedora for legal/policy reasons. I'm currently working on making the non-free pSX Sony Playstation emulator work on a modern system which uses PulseAudio [1]. It's considered the best emulator for the PS1 on Windows and works almost identically on GNU/Linux, but is difficult to get included in distributions (especially Fedora) for both legal and upstream abandonment reasons. Since I've never packaged software for any project before, I'm guessing I need someone to sponsor me. I'm completely new to contributing but I'm not new to using Fedora and would like to give something back to the community which has provided a decent product (for free, even!) for many years. I'd also like to make the same packages I submit available for RHEL, as they're going to be mostly gaming-related, the usual ABI/versioning considerations are likely to be less of an issue. Looking forward to working with you guys to bring more games/entertainment to Fedora!

For packages which just have a specfile and a tarbal, and the tarbal can be downloaded with spectool -g foo.spec, it is a workaround. But officially, the reviewer should verify the tarbal the submitter is planning to upload is identical to what upstream is distributing, which requires access to the tarbal (and bugzilla is not meant to attach large files).

I think it is time someone else nag them :) Based on my experience trying to package the two, I would have to agree with your logic in making them separate packages. From everything I have read, sub-packages are meant for when installed items from a single build need to be split up. These two however, have to be built separately and are independent of one another. Plus one is noarch and the other is arch specific. So when I do submit I will probably submit each separately. I also agree that upstream needs to clean up their package a bit. I got it to build, but like FCE Ultra, you have to manually setup the file install as scons won't accept --prefix= unless upstream puts it in their scons buildfile. But once I get things going, I'll definitely go bang on upstream's door and let them know. I uploaded here the two wips SRPMs I did a long time ago.

I'll check them out and so I can see if my .spec files are done correctly. I tried to base the ones I have made off the FCE Utlra spec files, but I think some of the standards have changed since those look like they were part of dribble originally.

Re: Introduction
Question about the kmod v2 stuff: I have my own build system with some cracky makefiles and mock that I store the packages I build in. When I don't define 'kernels' mock quite happily builds the kmod packages using the BuildRequires: buildsys-build-rpmfusion-kerneldevpkgs-newest and things seem fine. However, when I define 'kernels 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686.PAE' mock doesn't grok a BuildRequires to pull in the proper kernel-devel package and the build fails. I don't think mock is aware of the kmod-openafs-kversion package yet. I've tried making sure kmodtool is installed in my mock root (with my buildsys-build package) rather than pulled in as a buildreq. But no joy. What's the best way to teach mock about the kernel-devel BuildRequires?

I considered hitting the sponsor button, but you IIRC don't maintain any packages, hence I didn't hit it. Or do you plan to help out anywhere? Then let me know and I'll sponsor you. I'm happy to help out co-maintaining things (e.g. for EL) as there isn't actually anything that I'm particularly interested in that's not already in rpmfusion. I was going to submit an xv package originally but I think from the wiki that there's already one there. Yeah. Do you want to take care of that for the EL branch? Then I'll branch it. Yes, I'm happy to do that. One thing before I add your name to owners.epel.list: Can you please mail the XV owner (see http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/owners/owners.list?root=nonfreeview=markup ) what his plans regarding support for EL are? Maybe he wants to take care of it himself. OK, will do. I did struggle to find a comprehensive list of what's available though - is there a repoview somewhere? If there is, I think it would be worth adding a link to it from the wiki somewhere that casual browsers might find it. Yeah, as mentioned some minutes ago in http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2008-November/002611.html There is a lot of things that need improvement. Our docs are one area where we really suck. OK, I'll try to fix things where I see them; I trust there are no ACL restrictions like (parts of) the Fedora wiki? No, the Wiki is open to all users that created an account. I created a PackageList page with links to the repoview index pages for each repo. Some things I noticed: 1. Repoview for F10 says it's Development rather than Fedora 10 2. The updates repos for Fedora 10 and EL5 are empty and don't have repoview indexes. Does repoview not behave sanely in empty repos? 3. The main release repos for Fedora 8, Fedora 9, and EL5 are empty, with all of the content being in the updates repos. Is this ever likely to change? As I'm a sponsor in Fedora I thought I may not need separately sponsoring for rpmfusion (the wiki isn't clear on this I think), which is evidently not the case. Yes and no. Yes, someone has to click the sponsor button in FAS (/me normally). But that's about it if you are already a sponsor or a normal contributor in Fedora. OK, please click Done. Thanks. (and unblock me from denyhosts - 212.56.100.58). Will do.
