Self-Introduction: Steven Pritchard

[Steven Pritchard]

Name: Steven Pritchard
Location: Fairview Heights, IL, US (St. Louis metro area)
Profession: sysadmin, consultant, etc.
Company: K&S Pritchard Enterprises, Inc. (http://www.kspei.com/)

Goals:

The main thing I'd like to do is clear out my personal apt repository.
Currently I have around 50 packages, although admittedly some
disturbing percentage of that is stuff from CPAN. :-)

It looks like a few of the things I have packaged are already on
fedora.us, and a few more are already in the QA queue, so I would
imagine I could do some QA after I get another box or two upgraded.

Some of the more interesting packages in my repository include
amavis-ng, clamav, courier-imap, kernel-hostap-driver,
perl-HTML-Mason, and perl-Tk.

Historical qualifications:

I'm competent in C, really good with Perl, and just scary with sh. ;)
I like to think I'm pretty good at managing systems, and packaging
software is one piece that I think is absolutely essential when
managing a large number of systems.

As far as the trust thing goes, I've been around for years. Various
people probably know me either through the LUGs I started (SILUG in
1994 and LUCI in 1997), the Hardware HOWTO (which I've been
"maintaining" for a couple of years now, but try not to hold that
against me), or through my better half, Kara Pritchard (of LPI fame,
previously with linux.com).

GPG KEYID and fingerprint:

fedora.us QA queue is in need of qualified perl people in order to push
through several existing packages. Your help would be greatly
appreciated there.

Anything that exists in both fedora.us or fedora.us QA and your personal
apt repository, please file reports for each package about any
improvements to the existing fedora.us submitted package. If you feel
that your package is far superior in every way, then submit your package
as a replacement for the existing package and state reasons.

Thank you for your interest to do QA, since that is what we really need
as we are approaching 300 packages in the QA queue. =|

Is hostap for prism2 chips? If so I am very excited.
clamav is currently in QA queue and we would really appreciate your
suggestions on that package.

That's it. (http://hostap.epitest.fi/) Let me know if you want the
SRPM to try out.

Ah, I hadn't noticed that. I'll definitely have to take a look.

I'd like to look at that as well, but being very new to Fedora I'm not
finding the 'QA Queue' or any proposed clamav SRMS. Sorry for the newbie
question, but can someone give me a link to where these are, or more
generally how the QA process will work?

Currently this stuff exist at the old fedora.us site until the merger
happens for real: the QA queue can be found at http://www.fedora.us/QA
and package submission and QA policy at

The QA Queue is here:

The fedora.us wiki should answer this question, interesting might by

http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy
("QA Testing Procedure"),
and
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/QAChecklist


You can look at old bugreports also ("PUBLISH Queue"), to see examples
of the QA process.

hostap support for fedora would be a big plus for my next mobile
router. (Senao parts are in the mail!)

Do you folks know if the SMC2602 PCI adapter containing the SMC2632 prism2
based card is supported by hostap?
