I would like to share with you my own opinion on why I initially joined Petr Hráček in pursuing the idea of a portal for developers running Fedora and why I think that this project will help new and existing developers to take advantage of everything Fedora Workstation has to offer.
Why Fedora needs a place for developers
Writing a general multi-provider Vagrantfile
Vagrant is a great software that allows people to use various providers, provisioners, sync options, and more. But that often comes short if we write our project’s Vagrantfile just for default VirtualBox. Since I prefer to use libvirt provider and NFS I tend to write Vagrantfile that only support those (as they are just for myself). But lately I was writing a Vagrantfile for upcoming Fedora Developer Portal and wanted to support both Fedora users running our packages with libvirt as a default provider and everyone else as well.
Use your RHEL Vagrant boxes as any other with vagrant-registration
vagrant-registration plugin for Vagrant allows developers to easily register their guests for updates on systems with a subscription model like Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Here is how to install the plugin and set it up.
Deleting a problematic package on Fedora
What if we have a package that yum/dnf does not want to uninstall due to the broken dependencies or an uninstall scriptlets that won’t work?
