Information for packagers

[ErikReider]

I have no clue how this works in any sort of way so help would be very much appreciated. The main distro would be Arch (due to me primarily using it) and maybe Ubuntu and Fedora (I'll probably need to create a fedora build GitHub Action)

[lexa]

For building Fedora there is already a rpkg spec file: https://github.com/ErikReider/SwayNotificationCenter/blob/main/swaync.rpkg.spec and a copr repo. If you are ok, I could create a Gihub Action to update that copr whenever you push a new version of of SwayNotificationCenter.

You could also push the package in the official Fedora repository, that would be greatly appreciated.

[ErikReider]

I would really appreciate if you could pull it into official Fedora repository though

That would be preferred. Thanks @lexa for maintaining the copr repo :)

That would be preferred.

Sure, but that is rather difficult, especially for such niche package.

[ErikReider]

@lexa Hmmm. Is it possible to change the owner? Would the url change in that case?

[alekseifedotov]

The URL will change if we change the maintainer of the Copr package. I don't think there is such thing as changing the owner on Fedora copr.

[ErikReider]

If you @lexa would be willing to change the maintainer (or any similar option that also changes the URL), I'd be glad to take over it :)

@ErikReider Got really excited about this idea of officially maintained Fedora repo and made a mistake of posting from a wrong account.

I've prepared a PR to add Github Action for updating copr repo automatically: #148

If you want to take over maintenance over copr, you need to get an account on copr.fedorainfracloud.org, as described in the PR.
