DL 0.13 is now available in regular Fedora channels as well as the EPEL repository (for RHEL, CentOS, ScientificLinux users). On Fedora >= 19, you can type: yum install dl For users of the EPEL repository: yum --enablerepo=epel install dl After installation, have a look at /usr/share/doc/dl-0.13/README.fedora, where I included some basic configuration steps required when using the RPM. Thanks to Russ for his help in getting the package approved, and of course to Yuri for a useful piece of software! -Greg

There's no rush, I just wanted to know if there was anything required on my part. I'm wondering now where I should advertise/announce DL releases. In the past I relied a lot on freshmeat/freecode. Since now it's officially gone, the only channel left is either this mailing list or github. Somehow I was never able to find anything by searching through github unless it's already *quite* popular. There's too much noise and unimplemented/half-not-working stuff. Plus, it's not really useful for users, as opposed to developers. What's popular these days to find software, aside from random searches and the stackexchange network?

I have no problem with that, as long as there's somebody willing to maintain it :). It's a long time I didn't touch Fedora/RH, so I couldn't really help anybody with the spec. Just as a note, Debian generally suggests to have the packaging infrastructure as a different project unless it's a core Debian package. For example, it's common practice to patch sample configuration files and documentation to their actual installation paths without affecting the source package. No idea if that's considered good practice or not also in Fedora. (I'm telling just because I maintain a few packages in Debian). As for the code, I would suggest to use 0.13: http://www.thregr.org/~wavexx/software/dl/releases/dl-0.13.zip I'll write the announcement soon.

we packaged it locally a while back, but 'punted' on writing
the database setup and maintenace wizards, which we consided a
'must have' item for a general public release

[dl-ticket-service] Packaging of dl for inclusion in Fedora / EPEL
Hi Yuri (and others), I'm putting the finishing touches on RPM ingredients to submit dl as a package for Fedora and Fedora EPEL (for RHEL, CentOS, etc.). I maintain a few other packages in Fedora so hopefully I've covered most of the "gotchas". :) I've checked for existing submissions and it doesn't appear that anyone else has started this effort yet? I'd like to confirm that's the case before going too much further. Yuri, would you be open to including the RPM .spec file in the repository? thanks! Greg Bailey
