There are other packages missing from Fedora and RPM Fusion, which are available on Ubuntu and on arch repositories or AUR and they are qualified to included in the Fedora's repositories. For example I need for my university ns2, nam, xgraph (for which I have created a Copr repository but I don't plan to make a Review Request for these, because they are too old and kinda broken). Also smlnj (http://www.smlnj.org/) for which I will try to create a package in the future (it's too complicated for me now). Many youtubers like to use compton, compiz 0.9 series (which has differences from compiz 0.8 which is included in the repos). Various themes which could fit nicely in all the Fedora spins. A few more free software like youtube-dl-gui and others. So bottom line, I would like to get sponsored and help with as many packages as I can in order to make Fedora more popular.

I have an open review request for smlnj: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1421506. Unfortunately, it is a big package, and so no one has bit on it yet. But I would be happy for you to join in the packaging. If you have the time at some point, I would appreciate if you could look into my work on the rpmlint E: missing-call-to-setgroups-before-setuid, which I believe is fine for this package. Best, Daniel

Hello Thanos and welcome to the community!

I am studying Electrical and Computer Engineering in the National Technical University of Athens. My linux experience, so far, is this: I was using Ubuntu since 2012 and I was active in the askubuntu.com, where I was trying to help people solving problems, while expanding my knowledge at the same time. Then I moved to arch based distros at 2016 where I settled with Manjaro. I learned there how to create PKGBUILDs. I've been active on the Manjaro forum, I have been doing a few Pull Requests to Manjaro Github Repositories in order to improve/update certain packages. I also maintain the Manjaro Lxde Community Edition. Recently I decided to move to Fedora as it feels more "Professional" and higher quality distribution. So, I believe that Fedora provides a better user experience. Additionally, I will be able to improve my knowledge by learning Fedora's infrastructure. However Fedora doesn't have the AUR and it's missing a lot of packages that I needed, so I learned how to create simple RPM packages and how to use COPR. I've seen many users (especially youtubers) avoiding Fedora because of some missing packages and because it's not so user friendly. So, my goal is to contribute to Fedora by creating some simple packages which I've seen many people ask for. Because of my University's workload, I don't have much time in order to do more complex tasks, so in the beginning I want to make packages for some themes and some simple software (like compton). When I get enough experience, in the future, I might get involved with some more difficult tasks. For start, I have created this Review Request for vertex-theme which works good with the latest gtk versions and looks awesome with gtk Fedora spins: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1451298 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
