Cool, I've removed my packages now. Teamwork - it's a beautiful thing :)
Well, as I said/wrote again and again, it definately shows that we've been lacking a common
communication media.
Duplicate packages, recurring issues, maybe discussing over common style/guidelines for spec files,
etc...
At least that's the kind of things I hope we'll be able to talk about in some time (or maybe right now).
We definately need to work much closer together.
Most specifically, having duplicate packages is a big issue:
1) often they're not compatible and/or conflict:
different package name, different subpackaging, ...
2) issues for end-user who have several repositories in their inst sources
That's certainly the worst issue of them all, as we all want to give end-users a good experience and
easy of use, without what we wouldn't do all this packaging stuff ;)
3) duplicated work
Partly wasted time and effort for us packagers - and time sure is a valuable resource for all of us.
This also means that we should keep this list clear from any support question ("yast gives me an
error when I try to do a netinstall"-alikes).
Package-related bug reports.. hmm... why not.
Someone from SUSE mentioned that we could also use the openSUSE bugzilla to report issues about our
"community-made" packages. I don't remember who it was... Adrian, AJ, Christoph... ?
I would have a proposal: every time one of us makes a new package (not a new release, but start
packaging a project you didn't do before), send a mail on this list.
Like that, if someone else already packages/maintains it, we/they can discuss who maintains it, in
order to avoid duplication.
What do you guys think ? Feasible ? Too much overhead ?
Also, when we find out about cool RPM/spec tricks, gotchas, bugs, tools, scripts, whatever,
publicize it here.
This list can also be used to extend our know-how.
If some information is considered interesting or important enough to be "sticky", we can write it on
the opensuse wiki.
If noone is against it, I'll start doing so right now.

Well my primary goal is to get Webmin/Usermin/Virtualmin (www.webmin.com) back into the distro, but until I am able to build proper packages I may can help in providing my machine in running regression tests (using VMware with guest systems SL 9.x up to SL 10.x) for you. This somehow should be something like a QA of things before they go public. a) Send in the Binary- and Source-RPMs (or provide the link) b) Define the SL-Version(s) you want the Binary-RPM to be installed in. c) I try to install the RPM no errors -> d1) report to packager -> OK errors -> d2) I will try to build something from the Source-RPM no errors -> e1) report to packager -> OK and send the new Binary-RPM with the build instructions to restart from a) errors -> e2) report to packager -> NOT OK - restart from a) I am not sure if this "service" is needed, nevertheless to now its the least I can do and want to do.

All ;) more or less. Together with Eberhard I started the apt repository 1088 days ago (at least that's what my counter says). Without kidding my apt components are suser-rbos and rpmkeys. For those who don't know, we also came up with the term suser: being a combination of suse and user. Together with Marcus Hüwe (suser-tux) I'm working nowadays on getting kolab (http://www.kolab.org) ported to suse. We have modified postfix and cyrus-imapd packages available, which we would like to have tested. Does anyone have an idea how to get this going? Should we start a new thread about this? For your information suse is not going to include the patches unfortenately. That would have made things much easier, especially now suse-10.1 is in alpha stage and some testing could be done, without harming anyone.
- what kind of software in your repo (anything, multimedia, server stuff, ...)
