Fedora Repo's Packaging

[AlderAutomation]

Good afternoon! :)

Is your Fedora packaging person still doing your Fedora packaging? I ask because most recent update hasn't hit the repos yet and the release notes does not list Fedora as a Linux candidate.
If not, I might offer to volunteer.
Thank you,
Matthew

The website lists it, but the package is maintained by @bkmgit.

@AlderAutomation Am happy to have co-maintainers for the Fedora package. If you are not a Fedora packager, happy to onboard you. Feel free to make a merge request to update rawhide:

Also, note that the upstream repo has moved to its own organisation now, @bkmgit. It makes it easier for us to handle contributor access.

Thanks @bkmgit
I would love too help out.
I am not a packager yet, so any on boarding and info you can provide would be awesome. But I will try to figure it out on my own, I don't want to create more work for anyone, that doesn't help lol

Fedora packaging happens in its own repository. See:

• https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Pull_Request_Guide/

Thank you so much. I'll go through that this weekend :)

Good afternoon, Matthew! :)

Yes, we’re still handling the Fedora packaging. The latest update is taking a little longer than expected to reach the Fedora repos, and we’ll make sure Fedora is properly included in the release notes as well.

Thanks for reaching out and for offering to volunteer we really appreciate it!

Is the delay on our side or on Fedora side? If it's on fedora side then I guess I should be offering help to them :P
