Re: [Avr-eclipse-user] rpm package for fedora

[Thomas H. <th...@in...>]

Very good, the first real post on this list!

Danail,

sorry it took a moment to get your message onto the list, but it was 
send to me (as list-admin) first for approval. I am new to managing 
maillists and I have to figure out how to get mailman to accept all 
messages without approval.

It also seems that the maillist does indeed not accept attachments, 
which is not good but understandable (Sourceforge probably doesn't want 
to have warez distributed with their maillists)

If you want to share your rpm with the world you could use the project 
wiki. There you can upload files and edit the required pages telling 
users on how to use it.

The best place would be here:

http://avr-eclipse.wiki.sourceforge.net/page/edit/toolchain_linux

Just make a new section "Fedora" and explain how to use your rpm.

While the wiki has not been officially announced (like this maillist), I 
will make a Sourceforge News announcment probably today or tomorrow 
about both.
I am right now writing the Debugging section of the wiki and will make 
the announcment as soon as I am finished.

Regarding the maintenance of the plugin. If you can get to automate the 
version numbering and the download from the svn repositiory, then there 
should not be much maintenance involved.
Two things that will change at sometime: I will upgrade to the latest 
pluginbuilder version before the next release (which may or may not 
affect your build). And at some point in the future I will split the 
core plugin into two or more plugins (like de.innot.avreclipse.ui), as 
the plugin.xml has grown to an almost unmanageable size.
