New Package Process for New Contributors
This is a long version of the New Package Process, containing more details so new contributors can follow it more easily. Also the mandatory xref:How_to_Get_Sponsored_into_the_Packager_Group.adoc[sponsoring] step is included.
Install Packager Tools
Follow xref:Installing_Packager_Tools.adoc[Installing Packager Tools].
Check if the package already exists
If some useful software is not included in Fedora already, you can submit it as a new package. The package you are submitting can be of any Free and Open Source project.
Before creating your package, make sure that the software is not already in the Fedora repository:
Check if the package already exists by searching in https://packages.fedoraproject.org/[Fedora Packages].
Search in the https://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/[Review Tracker] for packages under review.
Check the https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/user/orphan[orphaned or retired packages that need new maintainers].
Be aware of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items[forbidden items].
Make a Package
If you don't know how to create an RPM package, see the xref:Packaging_Tutorial.adoc[Packaging Tutorial].
Make sure that your package meets the xref:packaging-guidelines::index.adoc[Packaging Guidelines] and xref:packaging-guidelines::Naming.adoc[Package Naming Guidelines].
Be aware of the xref:packaging-guidelines::ReviewGuidelines.adoc[Package Review Guidelines] (they will be used during the package review).
Make sure your package builds. This is surprisingly important because a significant number of submissions don't.
Upload Your Package
Upload your SRPM and SPEC files onto the Internet somewhere so that others can retrieve them. This can be anywhere accessible by a URL, but it is important that the files be directly accessible, not hidden behind some service that makes people wait to download things or redirects through advertising pages.
Using https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org[Copr] is recommended. It allows creating repositories using the src.rpm or spec file, which can be then shared with the reviewers. It also can create automatic builds from these files and distribute the results.
First you need to log to https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org[Copr], you can use your Fedora account.
Then follow this https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/screenshots_tutorial.html[tutorial], to build the project. During the "New Build" step you need to upload your source, you can choose the one which works for you the best, but if you don't have the source uploaded somewhere else, you can select the _Upload_ option and then in the provide the step section, click on _Browse..._ button to select a file. Now in the next section you need to specify the Chroots and other built options, select at least one `fedora-rawhide` chroot and adjust other settings as necessary.
After the build is completed you can use the following links for the review process:
Link to Spec file: go to your copr packages, click the name of your package and then under general information look for your dist-git repositary. Find the *Spec* file in this repository tree and copy it's link, but replace the *tree* part of the URL with the string *plain*, then use it for the review submission.
Link to SRPM file: in your copr builds, click on the *id* of your last successful build and under general information look for link named directory. Here look in to the */srpm-build/your_build_id/* folder and copy the *src.rpm* file URL for your review submission.
