Is the actual current procedure for submitting an RPM to the Fedora depository documented anywhere?
Here's a start.
I knew about this; it's part of the reason I asked the question. What's there is both out of date and inadequate.
When I told Mike Johnson that I wanted to streamline the process by making it easy to submit RPMs via a script, he said I was aiming at the wrong target because that's the old (fedora.us) procedure, not the new one. And I know that document is out of date in at least one respect; the "epoch number" is dead.
Once again, I run 37 projects which I would like to make available in the Fedora repository. I'm trying to develop a way I can ship RPMS, or equivalent metadata from which the Fedora project can build RPMs, automatically every time I do a point release.
What do I have to do? And why isn't this documented clearly and completely? Don't you want the repository to be well populated?
