Excerpts from Mike Blumenkrantz's message of Fri Mar 18 07:33:05 +0100 2011:
Hi,
I am a developer with the enlightenment project (
http://enlightenment.org). We
have just recently released the 1.0 version of our libraries, known as the EFL,
and are now attempting to find people on various distros to help spread the
word. Currently, we have packagers working on Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu
(debian), and a number of others, and we would like to add Fedora to this list!
Within our community, we have people who work on .spec files already, and such
files already exist for all the libraries that we would like to see in Fedora.
The spec files are in the toplevel directory of each project, and I will link
them here for easy viewing:
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/ecore-1.0.0/ecore.spec.in
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/e_dbus-1.0.0/e_dbus.spec.in
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/edje-1.0.0/edje.spec.in
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/eet-1.4.0/eet.spec.in
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/eeze-1.0.1/eeze.spec.in
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/efreet-1.0.0/efreet.spec.in
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/eina-1.0.0/eina.spec.in
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/embryo-1.0.0/embryo.spec.in
https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/tags/evas-1.0.0/evas.spec.in
There is one minor cleanup that must be made on our end in the ecore spec to
use c-ares, but other than that they should work fine. Obviously they may not
meet your QA regulations, so changes will be made where necessary.
Note that this is NOT E17. These are only the underlying libraries which have
been in development for the last 10 years and have recently reached 1.0.
I am hopeful that this mail will interest some of the developers on the list :)
You can either reply directly to this email or come to #edevelop on Freenode to
talk to us in realtime.
I'll note that those libs are already in Fedora, but they need a new
maintainer. Who should probably work with you and other distributions
to clean up the spec files. We have some recent changes guidelines
(no need for %clean section, use of %global instead of %define for
example) and I am not sure if other rpm distros do the same at this
time. It would be nice to have the same spec in all distributions
though :-)
Good luck finding a new maintainer!
