There's nothing wrong with maintaining your own software in Fedora. In fact, it's highly encouraged, because that makes it more likely that bug reports will be acted upon! ___ 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
Re: Packaging my own software?
Hi Chris, As someone who aspires to run their homelab on libvirt (I have a lot of hardware available), I know there would be a lot of folks who would appreciate a known-working configuration script. I also aspire to be a Fedora packager someday and I encourage you to look into COPR if you want to use the infrastructure, but don't want to feel guilty about it. Keep in mind that there is also a next gen kickstart called ignite. I'm using that to build images on Fedora CoreOS. -Blaise On Tue, Jan 18, 2022 at 2:29 PM Chris Adams wrote: > I've got a script for quickly building KVM VMs with libvirt from a > kickstart, and I think others would find this useful.

Packaging my own software?
I've got a script for quickly building KVM VMs with libvirt from a kickstart, and I think others would find this useful. I've put it on Github, including an RPM spec, and would like to see it in Fedora and EPEL. Is it okay for me to package my own software, or should I try to recruit someone else? Packaging my own software makes it feel like I'm abusing Fedora's infrastructure and mirror servers around the world, just to make it easier for me to install my own script and dependencies. :) Right now, the script is ks-libvirt, and I named my repo ks-install (so that's what I'd name the RPM), because I plan to take the same framework and make other scripts to do the same thing to other VM platforms (oVirt, and maybe VMware). -- Chris Adams ___ 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
