Fedora Package Process

Create Account

If you are a new package maintainer:

• Create a new account on Fedora Account System (FAS)
  • Click on 'New account' and fill in the blanks.
  • After you create your account, please be sure to sign the CLA (if you click on the "My Account" link in the top right, you should see CLA: CLA Done).
  • Also you need to upload a public RSA SSH key. You need to use the matching private key to access Fedora machines via SSH
• Create an account in Red Hat bugzilla.
• Install the client tools --Do we need to include this part for Eclipse Fedora-Packager cheat-sheet?
  • To build Packages for the Fedora Collection or EPEL, you need Koji. You'll also need to generate a client side certificate at the Fedora Account System and save the file in ~/.fedora.cert, where fedpkg will look for it by default.
