It would be much more interesting and helpful to consider becoming a co-maintainer of shotwell at Fedora. There are many packages where the existing maintainer doesn't reject help/contributions. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_Maintainers * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Copr hosting?
Dear Matthew and Rahul, Thanks for the replies. I realised today that the src.rpm can go into a public folder in dropbox. I will attempt to point copr there.

Re: Copr hosting?
Dear Michael, Thanks for the reply. Indeed there are bugs in shotwell 0.20.2-2 that have been solved upstream. I guess those fixes are in Fedora 22 already, not so in Fedora 21. I don't mind publishing something once I'm satisfied.

Yep — you can put it on fedorapeople.org. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/fedorapeople.org Thanks for the link. There is one requisite mentioned: 2. You must be sponsored in at least one group that is not a cla* group What is a group and how do I get sponsored? Wow, that's a little jargony -- sorry. Here's the deal. It's the end of the day so this is kind of long (no time to write a short message)... 1. Group in this context means one of the many different security groups in the Fedora Account System (FAS). You can log into that and see the groups here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/list/A* or see your own at the bottom of the page under My Accounts. 2. The cla* group means you've agreed to the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement, which actually _obsoletes_ the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) -- but the group name stayed the same. (The Contributor Agreement is very minimal, and basically means your contributions will be under free / open source licenses.) 3. Other groups are used for access to many other things. For example, to vote in Fedora Ambassador elections, you need to be in the Fedora Ambassador group. 4. A lot of things in Fedora are meant for active contributors, not just people who randomly signed up for an account. Since the cla* group has basically no barrier to entry (check a box and you're in), many _general_ resources in Fedora require you to be in at least one other group as well -- it doesn't matter which one. 5. So. In order to get a fedorapeople.org account, you just have to be active somewhere else in the project. If you are already, you probably already qualify. 6. If you're not... you _can_ apply for group membership within the account system, but the various groups are kind of arbitrary and without context. Some are obsolete. (It's pretty easy to start a small subproject in Fedora, and we don't really have a cleanup process, so that's a natural consequence.) So, it's probably better to find an active group in Fedora that you're interested in, and find out if they have a related security group and will sponsor you. For example, there's one for Fedora Magazine -- interested in writing a few short blog posts? :) Wow, that was really long and I hope at least half coherent.
