AutoQA Packaging FAD

This is the main page for the AutoQA Packaging Activity Day, which is a FAD focused on identifying and packaging remaining build dependencies for gwt. The gwt package is a build dependency for Autotest.

Purpose

The primary purpose for the event is gather Fedora packaging and java experts to ...

1. Identify all remaining unpackaged build dependencies
2. Package unpackaged build dependencies
3. Convert existing JPackages to packages acceptable for Fedora

In addition, we will attempt to complete the following secondary goals as time allows:

1. Submit as many new packages as possible for review
2. Review and approve as many submitted packages as possible
3. Update existing gwt and autotest packages as needed
