Hi list,

I'm an upstream developer and I'm unfamiliar with the Fedora processes, so my apologies if I'm asking obvious questions or asking in the wrong place!

I've seen lots of pages about how to become a Fedora packager, and the processes for reviewing packages, but I haven't yet found anything suggesting how I could go about _requesting_ whether an already experienced Fedora packager might like to adopt another package. Is there such a thing, or is the only option that I dive into learning how to do it myself?

To be specific, I would be interested in submitting the GPL2 java application "GpsPrune" for inclusion. It's already in Debian, so maybe that's a good starting point. And there are unofficial rpms in OpenSuse, which may also be helpful. There are only a small number of dependencies, most of which are optional, and I would be more than happy to help from my side to tweak things if necessary.

I believe that if there were packagers who had already created packages for java applications, and were willing to take on another one, it would take orders of magnitude less effort than if I were to try to do it myself and ask for it to be reviewed. Is there a way to submit a request for packaging?

Thanks for your time,
activityworkshop
