Fedora packaging #206

Open gaul opened 4 years ago

gaul commented 4 years ago

The Fedora packaging maintainer no longer updates his repo. I wonder if someone else in the community can take this up, preferably in the main Fedora repo if possible, otherwise in the non-free RPM Fusion?

Hi! I made dkms package. It can be installed from copr repo.

That's great, thank you! Can you update the wiki:

https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki/Get-Started#get-started-on-fedora

After you get some feedback, do you think you could try to get this into the main Fedora repo?

Not sure if the package can be added to the main Fedora repository. I will explore the possibility.

Hello :)!

After you get some feedback, do you think you could try to get this into the main Fedora repo?

This is prohibited: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/what-can-be-packaged/#_no_external_kernel_modules

We could (should?) try contacting the Kernel team, but I don't know how probable it is they accept it.

But it should be allowed on rpmfusion (EDIT: they seem to only allow kmod.)! Copr is also a great choice generally for hosting kernel modules.
