Hi

I'm new to this email group and am wanting to look at including a ham
radio software program that our team is working on in future versions of
Fedora (and eventually other RHEL based distros).

Welcome!

What I'm not finding easily is what the actual requirements to have
software included in the Fedora repos?

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ and links there are a great place to get started. If you've not packaged anything before, you'll need to follow the process and obtain a sponsor as well.

The program in question is GridTracker (licensed under the BSD 3-Clause
license) with source code and RPM files available.

The spec files in the upstream will need a bit of cleanup work to meet the packaging guidelines reference in the link above.. The Makefile for installation is pretty light so the spec file is having to do a good bit more than typical 'make install'.

Thanks,

Matt
