[OT] Advice wanted on packaging a program I wrote.

[Tony Nelson]

Where should I ask for help and advice on packaging a Gedit plugin I've
been writing?  I think that the packagers on this list mostly, umm,
"repackage" things.  I've looked at some of the relevent documentation, but
it will probably take several weeks of study that I can't afford for a
while.

I need to make source and binary RPMs for FC3 (that should also work on
FC4), and the source RPM should be able to install in the gedit-devel area
and also into a regular Gedit source tree, such as the
gedit-2.8.1-1.src.rpm I got from the FC3 source rpms.  (The best one can
say about Gedit documentation is that it is inadequate, and I don't think
anyone could develop a plugin without having the full Gedit source.)  AIUI
it will involve choosing the right files to package, making a config file,
making a tarball (?), and then building and testing the RPMs.
