Now, many of you would like to do that too. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> So how to get started ? +</I>><i> ----------------------- +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Well, there are several things you can already do. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> First, I suggest you to join #mageia-mentoring so that you can ask any +</I>><i> question you’d like to people who are already packagers. Don’t hesitate +</I>><i> to ask anything, there’s no stupid question. If you don’t get an +</I>><i> immediate answer, don’t hesitate to ping us +</I>><i> +</I>><i> It would also be great that other mentors join the channel as well, so +</I>><i> that we can answer people. At the moment ahmad, mikala, anssi, Nanar and +</I>><i> I are on the channel. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I know nothing about packaging, could you give me a pointer ? +</I>><i> ------------------------------------------------------------- +</I>><i> +</I>><i> There’s a documentation that tries to summarize how to do a rpm on this +</I>><i> page: +</I>><i> <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rpm_start">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rpm_start</A> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Don’t be afraid by the size of the page, take your time to read it. +</I>><i> We would appreciate some feedbacks about this documentation. Tell us if +</I>><i> some things are not clear, so that we can rephrase it, so that we can +</I>><i> explain it to you. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> It’s not that hard really, and I suggest you to take a look at an +</I>><i> existing spec to see how it’s done. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> At the moment, many packages have been imported, but many packages are +</I>><i> also waiting for someone to maintain it. You can have a list of +</I>><i> unmaintained packages here: +</I>><i> <A HREF="http://maint.mandriva.com/listpkgs.php?owner=1">http://maint.mandriva.com/listpkgs.php?owner=1</A> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Beware, check first that the package is not deprecated, unmaintained +</I>><i> upstream, and start with a small one, not very difficult, like a small +</I>><i> console app or a game. Again, if some bits are difficult to understand, +</I>><i> please tell us :-) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I already know some bits of packaging, would like to package for mageia, +</I>><i> what can I do ? +</I>><i> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Packaging policies represent a good amount of doc that might be +</I>><i> difficult to learn. You don’t have to know them by heart at first, just +</I>><i> to know that they exist, and that you should refer to them when you are +</I>><i> trying to do. For instance, if you’re interested in python packages, you +</I>><i> don’t have to know the perl packaging policy, but you should know that +</I>><i> they exist and refer to it if you have a perl dependency to your +</I>><i> package. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Package policies are listed in this page : +</I>><i> <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=policies-review">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=policies-review</A> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> You might also have a look at the aforementionned rpm start page in case +</I>><i> of doubt, and ask packagers when you don’t know. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Come on #mageia-mentoring, so that you can get in touch with a mentor, +</I>><i> and if he becomes available, you will be able to start with the various +</I>><i> tools we use to build packages. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I do hope that this mail gives you a path to start with, please tell me +</I>><i> if I am missing something, and again don’t be discouraged by the amount +</I>><i> of documentation you will read. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Regards, +</I>I try to did what was writen in <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku?id=rpm_start">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku?id=rpm_start</A> +With urpmi I can load ktron rpm. +But if I want to build this same package it cannot find the file.See below. +[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">pierre at sonypierre</A> rpm]$ + rpm -i/cauldron/SRPMS/core/ktron-4.5.95-1.mga1.src.rpm +erreur: échec de l'ouverture de +/cauldron/SRPMS/core/ktron-4.5.95-1.mga1.src.rpm: Aucun fichier ou dossier de +ce type +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002692.html">[Mageia-dev] About panotools patent problem (and other problematic rpms) +</A></li> + + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2693">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2693">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2693">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2693">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
