ISV guide to the Summit
by Greg DeKoenigsberg
To all of our partner friends:
We've received a lot of inquiries from our partners about packaging their
software in RPM format for use with Fedora. With good reasons:
* Millions of Fedora users can install any RPM in the Fedora universe with one
simple command.
* RPM is the cornerstone of Linux systems management applications, allowing
sysadmins to manage a complete list of all software on their systems, through
many different tools.
* RPM is also the basis of much of the appliance work that Red Hat is
advancing. Putting your software into RPM format makes it much simpler to
build Live CDs, network install images, or even virtual appliances around your
software solution.
Any open source software provider can package their work as an RPM for Fedora.
Getting software into Fedora is not as easy as it could be, but it's not that
difficult, either -- and we are committed to working with our partners to make
it as painless as possible.
At the Red Hat Summit / Fedora User and Developer conference, developers have
unprecedented access to the knowledge of the Red Hat and Fedora communities.
For those who are interested specifically in learning how to make the best use
of RPM and Fedora, we would like to recommend the following sessions:
* Topic: Fedora images and live CDs.
Presenter: Jeremy Katz
Time: Wednesday 6/18, 11:30am - 12:30pm
Location: Red Hat Summit Session Hall
* Topic: How to make good RPM packages
Presenter: Tom Callaway
Time: Wednesday 6/18, 1:30pm - 2:30pm
Location: Red Hat Summit Session Hall
* Topic: Building Appliances with the Red Hat Appliance OS
Presenter: Bryan Kearney
Time: Wednesday 6/18, 2:45pm - 3:45pm
Location: Red Hat Summit Session Hall
* Topic: Fedora packages for RHEL
Presenter: Karsten Wade
Time: Thursday 6/19, 2:45pm - 3:45pm
Location: Red Hat Summit Session Hall
* Topic: ISV Packaging Hackfest
Presenter: Various
Time: Thursday 6/19, 10am - 4pm
Location: Fedora Hackfest Area
* Topic: Java Packaging Hackfest
Presenter: Various
Time: Friday 6/20, 10am - 4pm
Location: Fedora Hackfest Area
Also, on Saturday 6/21, we will be holding the Fedora Users and Developers
Conference at Boston University, just minutes from the Hynes Convention Center.
FUDCons are the lifeblood of the Fedora community; every FUDCon draws the best
and the brightest of the Fedora community from all over the world. We urge
Summit participants who are interested in learning more about Fedora to attend
this exceptional conference. Learn more about FUDCon at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF10
If you have any questions, please contact Greg DeKoenigsberg <gdk(a)redhat.com>,
Paul Frields <pfrields(a)redhat.com> or Max Spevack <mspevack(a)redhat.com> for
more information.
We look forward to seeing you at the Summit, and at FUDCon.

Groovy in Rawhide?
by Richard Körber
Hello!
I have just joined this list too. I am both a big friend of Java and
Fedora, and I am happy that I can enjoy both now, thanks to OpenJDK. :-)
Now that OpenJDK is installed by default in Fedora 9, I think it would
be nice to have Groovy[1] available as well. It would be a nice Java
counterpart to Python, Ruby and Perl.
Are there any plans to add Groovy to Rawhide? There is a Fedora RPM
package available on the Groovy homepage already, which on a first sight
seems to integrate nicely with Fedora 9. I'd prefer a simple yum install
groovy though. :)

Introduction to the List from OpenNMS
by Tarus Balog
Gang:
Hello there. I am one of the maintainers for OpenNMS, a free and open,
enterprise-grade network management system written in Java. With the
advent of OpenJDK we are hoping to get involved in the packaging of
Java applications such as our own. I had lunch with gdk and Michael
DeHaan today and it was suggested that this would be the best list for
this.

So I just wanted to say "howdy".

Hi Jarda,
it seems that you got tripped up by different mail addresses: the one you're
subscribed on this list according to the lists's maintainer Gary Benson
is your
netbeans.org address, but the one you've sent this mail from is your
sun.com
address, so it didn't show up on the list or in the archives. :/
(I can recommend using IRC for this kind of communication problems, as I
was able to quickly find overholt, mjw and gbenson on #fedora-java,
who helped track this one down, and they were very helpful.)
As far as the problem you describe goes, you're right, there are no
instructions
to create .ssh/id_dsa on the 'Join' page. If you scroll down to the
'Get a Fedora account part', you'll see a link in the first line to the
descrption
of the Fedora Account System
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem>. Clicking
on it will take you to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem which under
section
1.4.3 lists
What is an SSH key, and why do I need one?
SSH <http://openssh.org/> , short for Secure SHell, allows
cryptographically authenticated and encrypted connections between
computers. SSH is used to tunnel CVS connections for the Fedora Project.
Anytime you use CVS with the Fedora Project, the transaction will be
performed through an SSH connection. Your SSH key will identify you to
the CVS servers, and host keys on the CVS servers will allow your
computer to verify the remote server, too. An SSH key is only needed if
you are planning on contributing source code, working on Fedora Project
website pages or using fedorapeople.org.
See Cryptography <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography>
and clicking on the cryptography link will take you to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography , which in turn has a brief
introduction to creating ssh keys at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography#Creating_SSH_Keys
when it comes to uploading the freshly created ssh key to your fedora
account, I hope the way pointed out by david walluck at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-java-list/2008-May/msg00026....
still works.
If you run into further trouble, jump on IRC on #fedora-java on Freenode,
and we should be able to help you, and others at the NetBeans team get
their
code packaged for Fedora.
mjw (Mark Wielaard) suggested that it's best to work with the sponsor,
in your
case that's fitzsim (Tom Fitzsimmons). Feel free to contact me, too!
best of luck,

Java issue on Fedora-9
by Devrim GÜNDÜZ
I am trying to rebuild postgresql-jdbc on Fedora-9. Per
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=35794 , package is
successfully built already. However, I'm getting an error:

I'm getting the same error with PostGIS package. This is a stock
Fedora-9 installation on x86_64 .
Can someone please give an idea regarding this?
Thanks.
