Thanks for the suggestion! I've done some work on the spec file and filed a package review bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2016767 We'll see how the review will go.

Packaging autorandr
Hello folks! I'd like to package the autorandr <https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr> project for Fedora. This would be my first python package so I'd like to ask some questions. Firstly the project already contains a spec <https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/blob/master/contrib/packaging/rpm/autorandr.spec> file. However I'm not sure whether it could be used without any modifications. For example the %install section doesn't contain %pyproject_install but rather uses make and install commands. But maybe it's the correct approach since the package should contain not just python files and executables but also systemd unit and udev rule. I'd like to ask for guidance on how to approach this, especially whether the original spec file is usable or if I should create a new one according to Python Packaging Guidelines <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/>.

Self Introduction: Peter Kotvan
Hello everybody! I'm Peter and I use Linux for quite some time considering myself an enthusiast. I mainly use Fedora and Arch linux, both on a daily basis but I have experience with plenty of other distributions also. The main reason I'm writing this email is that I miss a retired package ( scrot <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/scrot>) in Fedora and since I already have a copr repo with it I thought why not to go all the way and maintain it "officially". Maybe I could take on more packages in the future. :) Kind regards, -- Peter Kotvan ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Claiming ownership of a dropped package
Hello folks! I would like to become a maintainer/packager of package scrot [1] that was dropped [2] last year. (Disclaimer: I have experience with maintaining some packages in COPR but not with actually maintaining packages in the official Fedora repos. I'm completely new to this.) In the docs there is a section about Claiming Ownership of an Orphaned Package [3] but I'm not sure whether this still applies if the package was already dropped. Should I follow the New Package Process for New Contributors [4] as if the package was completely new? Thanks in advance for any help.
