Description of problem: Cutecom still not in respositories Most excellent terminal program *still* not in Mageia repositories. http://cutecom.sourceforge.net/ If anyone could be bothered to mentor me, I'd create an RPM myself. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Reassigning to bugsquad, I don't see what Cutecom would have to do with the sysadmins or atelier. @Robert: I see that you have been waiting a looong time and still have no mentor. You could try send a new mail to dev@ml.mageia.org asking for one, hang around on #mageia-mentoring and tell Pierre-Malo Daniélou that you are still waiting and willing to learn. In the meantime, you could get started with the tutorials on the wiki, and ask your questions on #mageia-mentoring. I'll have a look at the packaging of cutecom.

Summary: Missing package from repository => Package request: cutecom
Sorry for the flood, it took me a while to figure out that the Product was wrong for the bug report.

Created attachment 4142 [details] SRPM for cutecom 0.22.0 Here is an SRPM proposal for cutecom, imported from Fedora and fixed for Mageia. @Robert: Do you want me to have it imported by my mentor, or do you want to review it and take its maintainership when you have (hopefully soon) a mentor? It's quite a simple package so it would be a good example for you to learn packaging if you have little experience.

Hi Rémi, I would be delighted to be its maintainer when I have learned how to do it. I have tried in the past a couple of times to learn how package RPMs, but there are just too many unknowns. I actually think a You Tube video would be a really good idea as someone goes through all the steps of doing it. I did ask some questions on the forum and the way some people described it, it seemed like a real hit-and-miss affair where people would just keep trying until eventually worked on different machines. I find it very hard to believe such an unscientific way is how to do it!
Hi Robert, You can check the Youtube broadcast of our Packaging Seminar 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVZY_h96a48 with the logs of what was said at the same time in #mageia-mentoring: http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-mentoring/2013/mageia-mentoring.2013-06-07-17.12.log.html Please join the next seminar if you want! It will be announced on dev@ml.mageia.org.

cutecom imported in Cauldron, I'll see to have it submitted.
Excellent, thanks. It doesn't even compile easily now as we're using Qt5 and it seems to be based on Qt4. :~/
Now submitted to cauldron, it will be there in Mageia 4. To compile, you need to use qt4-devel (still available) and not qt5.

OK, I'll give that a go. Thanks.
If you are not running Cauldron, you can create your own package based on the one in Cauldron with: $ mgarepo co cutecom $ cd cutecom $ bm -l (you may to install mgarepo and bm if they are not there already, and if bm -l complains about dependancies, then run "urpmi --buildrequires SPECS/cutecom.spec")
