HI!
I will try to help us with excellent idea of RPM FUSION. My first idea
is to add SubDownloder. It's an excellent program to download
subtitles for videos, the home is:
http://code.google.com/p/subdownloader/.
How should i proceed to do it?
- first read through: http://rpmfusion.org/
- get on the mailing lists
- notice that the spec should follow the fedora guidelines minus the
rpmfusion exceptions. {I think this means a fedora specific package
rather than a one size spec fits all distros with ifdefs}
- create a .spec file for your package
- rpmbuild -ba your.spec
- rpmlint .src.rpm and bin.rpm
- check google and if no luck, request assist on the mailing list if
you can't get it building at all or have other problems.
- when built - test install on your machine
- test build and install on a minimal machine or with mock and make sure
everything about the package still works on your machines to help with
requires and build requires.
- post your .spec and built .src.rpm on the internet
- create a review request in bugzilla including links to the posted files
- respond in a timely manner to bugzilla queries
ps. I am new here, but after packaging one simple app for fedora, this
is my understanding of how to go about it.
