Package maintainers wishlist
From FedoraProject
Before submitting a wishlist package, read
to understand what CANNOT be included. Software unsuitable for Fedora itself may be considered by RPM Fusion at
Before submitting a wishlist package, DO NOT forget to check review queue at
Before submitting a wishlist package, please read
carefully!
This is the field for existing packagers to place notes about new packages.
I know many of people want Fedora to include more and more softwares, and that's what we are pursuing for currently, we are trying our best to match your needs but sometimes we only lack enough time.
I myself have thousands of packages not submitted, so if you want me to package a software, feel free to email me ASAP, details please see my user page in the title.
As a current contributor, if you know of projects that would be appropriate in Fedora package collection but are unable to maintain yourself just drop them with a line here.
This list can be used to give other contributors ideas on what to package next. Please be aware however that the number of high quality, well maintained packages that Fedora repository provides scales with the number of active contributors. It is just as important to encourage new contributors as it is to desire new packages.
If you are not yet a contributor to the Fedora packaging process, please look over this list and see if there are any projects you would be willing to maintain for the Fedora community.
If you're interested in contributing to Fedora package collection, take a look at
