I've been a Fedora packager for probably 10 years now (need to check!) but
I *STILL* don't really understand modules other than at a high level (it
lets you use dependencies that aren't available in the main repos). I've
read through some of the documentation but it's still not clear. I know I
would have to crate some kind of module file which I think tools could be
developed to mostly automate (spec->module template converter?).
While modularity is more of a Fedora thing I think it's sad that for more
standard tools I reference Arch documentation more often than Fedora
documentation. Of course there's the, "I could help with that" part and I
might, but frankly I can barely keep up with my packages between $DAYJOB,
$FAMILY, Fedora, and RPM Fusion.
I'm there with you Richard. I don't really get how I can get started
building a module outside of the Fedora infrastructure's system (Koji or
Copr).
I'm hoping this gets a lot clearer after modules come in RHEL 8 and we get
concrete examples.
