I'm a little bit mystified by the submission procedure. And the more I read the submission thread the more mystified I get. While I understand the need for QA, and can understand why packages ought to be PGP signed I really would appreciate a few hints about the way I should go.
For example, do I need to have pre and post install scripts? My little package contains a C source, a man page, a makefile and a spec file. Do I need to add other things to get through QA or is that enough?
Would somebody who knows how this works mind pointing me in the right direction? Thanks.
As far as Red Hat and Fedora goes, there is no way of submitting and including packages/RPMs to be included with Fedora/RHEL as of *yet*. That is being worked on and discussed. But if you want to get into that process, try fedora.us as that is what will be initially merged and become part of the Fedora process, with/without their guidelines/procedures, depending on what Red Hat wants to keep/change/remove during the merge.
I'm sure someone from fedora.us will send a URL to let you browse/read on how to submit packages, QA and that type stuff so you can get in the habit for the early stages.
