Here it is the first release of Thinkfan, a simple and lightweight fan control program, for Fedora. As a thinkpad user so it's obvious what my interest is, but developer assures now can manage other computers fan too.

Notes about this release:

• Upstream tagged it as alpha until become more confident of it's stability. Feel free to test and contribute.
  
• I've added it my first systemd configuration from scratch. Please send feedback if you detect any bug.

I'll very probably contribute it to Fedora as soon I feel it's operational.

As usual, package is available in my repo. You can set up paquetes-rpm repository in yum.
Enjoy.

I'm uploading a first approach of Bitcoin software for Fedora (15) v0.5.0. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic crypto-currency cash system.

It's not trivial to build Bitcoin in Fedora since it uses Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) «a cryptographic algorithm used by Bitcoin to ensure that funds can only be spent by their rightful owners», a feature of OpenSSL which has been restricted in Fedora due to patents concerns.

To circumvent this obstacle package includes pristine sources of OpenSSL from upstream and builds it for the sole needs of bitcoin compilation and static linking.

Notes about this release:

• This is supposed to be fully operational; if you find a disarrangement please report through comments below.
• Support of UPNP is deactivated for a while. I'll fix this as soon I get miniupnpc decently bundled.
• Some love is pending to make rpmlint happy.
• It, sadly, doesn't build with Mock. The cause is some of the juggling for compiling the upstream OpenSSL. I'll try some workaround for it.
• If you rebuild de src.rpm in your system you must remove the openssl-devel package to avoid conflicts.

If I got satisfied about the final results I probably postulate it to RPM Fusion, since the patents concerns restricts it in Fedora. If someone is interested on taking the responsability of maintain it I'll be very happy to let it.

As usual, package is available in my repo. You can set up paquetes-rpm repository in yum.

I've just uploaded my first SparkleShare for Fedora (15) v0.4.0. SparkleShare is a collaboration and sharing tool.

I'm not used to SparkleShare so I'm not sure if all dependencies are well tuned. I've activated the support of libnotify and smartirc4net. The first is working but I don't really know how it uses it and if it's really working. Integration with Nautilus is available too.

The package quality is a bit under Fedora requirements but it's, but the application seems to me mature enough to add it to Fedora. I encourage you to contribute it. In the middle, please report here any defect you detect.

It's available in my repo. You can set up paquetes-rpm repository in yum. Enjoy.
