New Package Process for New Contributors
This is a long version of the New Package Process, containing more details so new contributors can follow it more easily. Also the mandatory xref:How_to_Get_Sponsored_into_the_Packager_Group.adoc[sponsoring] step is included.
Install Packager Tools
Follow xref:Installing_Packager_Tools.adoc[Installing Packager Tools].
Check if the package already exists
If some useful software is not included in Fedora already, you can submit it as a new package. The package you are submitting can be of any Free and Open Source project.
Before creating your package, make sure that the software is not already in the Fedora repository:
Check if the package already exists by searching in https://packages.fedoraproject.org/[Fedora Packages].
Search in the https://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/[Review Tracker] for packages under review.
Check the https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/user/orphan[orphaned or retired packages that need new maintainers].
Be aware of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items[forbidden items].
Make a Package
If you don't know how to create an RPM package, see the xref:Packaging_Tutorial.adoc[Packaging Tutorial].
Make sure that your package meets the xref:packaging-guidelines::index.adoc[Packaging Guidelines] and xref:packaging-guidelines::Naming.adoc[Package Naming Guidelines].
Be aware of the xref:packaging-guidelines::ReviewGuidelines.adoc[Package Review Guidelines] (they will be used during the package review).
Make sure your package builds. This is surprisingly important because a significant number of submissions don't.
Upload Your Package
Upload your SRPM and SPEC files onto the Internet somewhere so that others can retrieve them. This can be anywhere accessible by a URL, but it is important that the files be directly accessible, not hidden behind some service that makes people wait to download things or redirects through advertising pages.
If you want to make ad-hoc builds available for users while you are getting the package into the official repositories, consider using https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org[Copr]. It is a lightweight automated build system that can create repositories using the SRPM you upload. You can use this Copr space to point reviewers to your src.rpm and spec.
Create Your Review Request
Fill out https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&format=fedora-review[Bugzilla Fedora review form].
Before submitting your request, be sure there’s not a previous request for the same package. There is a convenient search box on the https://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/[package review status page].
Make sure that you put the *name of the package* (excluding version and release numbers) in the `Review Summary` field, along with a very *brief summary* of what the package is.
Put a *description* of your package (usually, this can be the same thing as what you put in the spec `%description`) in the `Review Description` field. Include the *URLs* to your *SRPM* and *SPEC* files.
