The pyQPCR is really easy to build as an RPM. How do I help out in packaging RPMs for some bioinformatics tools and get them to the repositories?

First step is to create an FAS account, then join the package collection maintainers by submitting a package. If you haven't created an RPM package, you should read the short HOWTO: How to create a GNU Hello RPM package. (Note that RPM .spec files generated automatically by some means e.g. "python setup.py bdist_rpm", or by upstream are rarely acceptable as-is and will probably require some modifications to be acceptable by Fedora). Feel free to ask for advice on the mailing lists or on IRC. Thanks. -- Alexlan 18:48, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
