Submit a bug to the Bug Tracker, for SME Contribs, asking for a new component to be added with your rpm name, Include links to download your rpm including your src rpm. Include a short description, perhaps the description from the spec file

Current RPMs in the [http://bugs.contribs.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=SME%20Contribs SME Server Contribs] section

===SME Extras Repositories===
The SME Extras repository will contain RPMs that have been through a review process, RPMs in the SME Extras repository will be able to be installed directly from the Software Installer panel in the server-manager. Currently the SME Extras repository does not hold any contribs, but this will change in the future. Here you can see the list of packages submitted for [http://bugs.contribs.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=SME+Server+Extras&component=Package+Review&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= Package Review].

====Submission process====
*Note, The process for having your contrib included in SME Extras is currently being outlined and developed and therefore is far from complete.

To get your package in the SME Extras repository it has to go through a review process. The first steps to get your contrib in the SME Extras repository are:

1. [http://bugs.contribs.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=SME%20Server%20Extras&component=Package%20Review Submit your contrib for Package Review] in the SME Server Extras category of the Bugtracker. Be sure to add the following information:
* (a link to) the SPEC file 
* (a link to) the source RPM (SRPM)
  
2. SME Server code is stored in the CVS on [http://www.sourceforge.net SourceForge]. 
* To be able to work on your code in the SME Server CVS repository you need an account on SourceForge. With this account the development team can give you access to the CVS repository. More information can be found here:
*  [http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=11123&group_id=1 B04: Registering a User Account]
*  [http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=29894&group_id=1 E04: CVS (Version Control for Source Code)]

3. After you have created your SourceForge account you can ask the development team to give you developer access. Create a bug in the Bug Tracker as usual.

4. After the development team has added you to the [http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=96750 list of developers] you can create a SSH key which is necessary to get access to the SME Server CVS, more on this can be found here: [http://sourceforge.net/docs/F02/en/#top F02: SSH Key Generation and Usage]

5. After you have received deveoper access you will have to download and configure your CVS client to work with the SME Server CVS. More information can be found here: [http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14026&group_id=1 B01: Recommended User Software Configuration (en) ]
