Move into Fedora? #2

Open mavit opened 6 years ago

mavit commented 6 years ago

Do you think it would be reasonable to move this package into Fedora proper, even though (as I understand it) it wouldn’t work there without the Raspberry Pi kernel? I ask because then I could link against it from Fedora’s Squeezelite builds for ARM, which seems like it might be less hassle than trying to get a special build of Squeezelite into FedBerry. Is this a terrible idea?

Hi Peter. No, its not a terrible idea, I am all for pushing whatever we can upstream :-)

mavit commented 6 years ago

Great.

Are you a Fedora packager who can submit this for review? I’d be happy to take the review in that case.

If not, would you like to become a Fedora packager? Wiki page Join the package collection maintainers explains how to do that.

agrez commented 6 years ago

Nope, not a Fedora packager. Yes, I have been tempted to become a packager before and I suppose this is as good as time as any. I am not available for the next 1 1/2 days but when I get back I will read that mountain of info in that link and start the process.

The documentation can be a little bit maze-like, so feel free to ask me if you need any pointers.

agrez commented 6 years ago

Ok, review request done. Yep, that documentation has kept me from joining the Fedora packagers for years now. Its daunting to say the least! https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1577011

+1 to follow, as I would immediately jump and use it !
