    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-463?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12695645#comment-12695645 ] 

Dan Allen commented on FORGE-463:
---------------------------------

Advice for getting started, from Marek:

1. Join #fedora-java IRC.
2. Make sure the licensing is clear (file, headers).
3. Create an initial spec file (start with an example - yes, ShrinkWrap is ok).
4. Try to execute the rpmbuild command and you'll see what's missing.
5. Remove failing part / add missing deps / change gui:aid's / ask in channel for advice
5. Package missing deps.
6. Go to #4.

Marek also said that this package could be pushed to the Fedora 17 repositories if it's ready before Fedora 18 is released.

> This is an umbrella issue for creating a Fedora package for Forge. Track steps using additional issues.
> Creating and publishing Forge packages for Fedora would really help boost adoption of Forge, IMO. Telling someone to download an unzip seems simple enough, but there's just something even more elegant about:
> sudo yum install jboss-forge
> (no sudo if you're hip enough, one of those GUIs if your glitzy enough)
> I discovered that Fedora is trying to make package development easier than ever for Java developers. They've created a plugin for Eclipse [1] that walks you through creating a package, starting from git clone all the way to publish to Bodhi [2] (think of it like Nexus for Fedora, sort of).
> This effort relates to, and my help drive, the JBoss AS 7 on Fedora initiative [3].
