Notes:
- This is my first Fedora Extras submission, and needs to be sponsored

Hi,

In order to get sponsored you must first understand that things are currently
organised in FE in such a way that once you are sponsored you get full CVS
access to all packages. Thus having one good package ready for review usually
isn't enough to get you sponsored.

There are 2 ways to proceed from here for us (the FE community) to get to learn
you better:
1) You review a couple of packages from others see bug 163776 for a list of
   Review Requests that need a Reviewer, don't worry about not being competent
   enough todo a review, just add me to the CC-list and I'll watch over your 
   back.
2) Create some more packages and link to them from the BZ ticket.

Or (probably the best) a combination of these 2. What also helps is activity in
other Fedora projects such as translations etc.

What would also help is filling in a real name and using a somewhat more real
eamil buildsys@ doesn't inspire much confidence (and cannot be googled to see if
you have contributed to other OSS projects which is also always a pre).


Comment 2 Brian Pepple 2006-06-08 18:30:51 UTC
Here's a couple of quick items that need to be addressed:

1. Don't re-define %dist in your spec.
2. Inconsistant use of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT & %{buildroot}.  Pick one, and only use
that in your spec.
3. Why are your appending '.lsn' to the release?  If there is no good reason,
drop it.
4. Why are you defining the BuildArch?  If the package doesn't build on other
architectures, you should use the ExcludeArch.  Once the package is approved,
you will need to have a bug filed in bugzilla for each architecture, describing
the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on that architecture.
The bug number should then be placed in a comment, next to the corresponding
ExcludeArch line.  Until then, you will need to place the information in the
comments.
5. Drop both of the '%{__rm}' lines from the %prep section, they are unnecessary.

In the future, I would suggest using the Fedora spec template, because most of
these issues are addressed there.

As Hans pointed out in Comment #2, you must demonstrate an understanding of
Fedora Extras Packaging Guidelines, before you can be sponsored.

Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2006-06-14 07:01:57 UTC
Trying to redo some of the Bugtriaging I had done which got lost because of the
BZ crash.

If I remember correctly, then the review submitter was interested in submitting
packages not maintaing them as such he was advised to submit packages to f-e-l
where an interested maintainer can then pick them up, and the bug was closed as
wontfix.

Closing as won't fix, please reopen if I remember incorrectly.
