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 What's there is both out of date and inadequate.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 And I know that document is out of date in at least one respect; the "epoch number" is dead.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?
Official "Fedora Extras" does not exist yet. In other words, you cannot submit your packages to a repository that doesn't exist.
