Create Fedora package for Forge ------------------------------- Key: FORGE-463 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-463 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Forge Build Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Final Reporter: Dan Allen Assignee: Daniel Cunha Priority: Optional Fix For: 2.x Future 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].
