We need more participants to help.
Mission
We are working on form a group of people pushing and maintaining Deepin Desktop Environment in Fedora. Our mission is to define a high-quality Deepin DE experience to Fedora users and developers.
Status
Sync with Arch Linux
Versions of packages are kept synchronized with Arch Linux [1], not with upstream directly.
We can catch up Arch Linux during the pre-released version of Fedora. For now, packages of F34 are synchronized with Arch Linux. We lack of human power to make stable updates for released Fedora branches.
We also follow the package naming of Arch Linux. Deepin packages are prefixed with 'deepin-'.
Packit deployed
Packit is used to maintain specfiles within upstream git repos. Some upstream repos already merged the Packit-related change, for example deepin-dock. Other packages with non-upstreamed changes are kept within Robin Lee's personal github repos, for example deepin-kwin.
After that, there are still a few packages that are not changed to the Packit practice.
Specfile within upstream repo is also managed to build on openEuler. We want to form unified specfiles with the joint effort by upstream authors and RPM packagers from different communities of Linux distributions.
Packages
As of now, most of the packages are in Fedora. Please refer to the tracker bug for the packages.
For multi-media packages, refer to the tracker in RPMFusion bugzilla.

How you can help
If you have no idea how to help us with making Deepin Desktop Environment into Fedora here are some proposals where we need help:
- Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged for Fedora or need to be updated. Package it to improve the experience.
- Reviewers: Only a few persons are doing the DeepinDE-related reviews. Help us reviewing the package requests to make things happen quickly.
- Testers: If you want to try Deepin Desktop Environment use the development version or the updates-testing repository and report bugs, We need your feedback to improve it.
Communications
As of now, we don't have a dedicated way for communication yet. We will be requesting a mailing list shortly. The preferred way of getting in touch with us is by email. Of course you can reach many of us by IRC in various channels.
