[elrepo-devel] Join the ELRepo contributors community

[Nikolay Ulyanitsky]

Hello

My name is Nikolay Ulyanitsky.
I want to contribute some packages on ELRepo.
I have experience in building RPM packages and distributions based on
Fedora and RHEL.
I am not a contributor of Fedora but want to become EPEL contributor in future.

I have prepared following packages for review:
1. nx1001
This package provides the nx1001 kernel module for the
ASUS NX1001 PCI Fast Ethernet Network Adapter.

2. sis190
This package provides the sis190 kernel module for the
SiS 191/190 PCI Gigabit/Fast Ethernet Adapter.
Additional information:
* Official driver from SiS.
* Tested on real hardware with CentOS 5.3 i386 - works just fine.
* Backported sis190-kmod-1.3-1.el5.elrepo is buggy - kernel panic on
module loading.

3. wl
This package provides the wl kernel module with Broadcom's IEEE
802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux device driver for use with Broadcom's
BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4321, and BCM4322-based hardware.

4. gspca
This package provides the gspca video for linux (v4l1) driver, providing
support for webcams and digital cameras based on the  range of chips
manufactured by SunPlus Sonix Z-star Vimicro Conexant Etoms Transvision
Mars-Semi Pixart Gspca have a strong history. The project born with spca50x
for Sunplus chipset become spca5xx to support a large range of chipset,
and is now set as gspca. GSPCA mean "Generic Software Package for Camera
Adaptator".

5. sdricoh_cs
This package provides the sdricoh_cs kernel module for the
Secure Digital and MMC Card Readers that can be found in some notebooks
like the Samsung P35.
The real chip name is R5C593. The device seems to be combined with a
Cardbus bridge and a Firewire Controller. The MMC Cardreader emulates a
RL5c476 cardbus bridge.

6. xorg-x11-drv-sis-intel
This package include Xorg X11 sis video driver provided by Intel.
Additional information:
* Tested on real hardware with CentOS 5.3 i386 - works just fine on
  one notebook where original xorg-x11-drv-sis doesn't.


Precompiled packages available:
 * SRPMS:  http://repo.lystor.org.ua/el/5/SRPMS/
 * i386:        http://repo.lystor.org.ua/el/5/i386/
 * x86_64:  http://repo.lystor.org.ua/el/5/x86_64/

Packages were builded by mock on fully updated CentOS 5.4 with kernel
2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.

Can I contribute to ELRepo? :)
