Hello, I just joined the list so let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Shaw (KF5OIM) and I've been a Fedora (and RPM Fusion) packager for a few years now. I'm also the current maintainer for other ham related packages such as FLDIgi and QSSTV for Fedora.
I would like to package wsjtx for Fedora and I'm sure this is nothing new to those here, but the current install is incompatible with the Fedora packaging guidelines. I started with version 1.2 some time ago and gave up as I'm not much of a programmer and ran into some issues I couldn't rectify. I see with the proposed 1.3 release that the cmake build now at least has an install target even if most everything is dumped in /usr/bin, which is the main reason for my post. In an attempt to get 1.2 to play nice with linux, I tried doing some QT/c++ hacking to the code and although what I have should NOT be checked in, but there may be some useful bits in it, most notably changing from doing everything relative to the wsjtx binary location to a home directory approach. Some questions I still have is about the function of the Palettes and save directories? Are they intended to be writable? Or static? Are they arch independent? The answers to those questions would help me to understand the most appropriate location for those files in a the linux/FHS world. Here is a link to my patch attempt if it helps: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34775202/wsjtx-homedir.patch Thanks, Richard
