Personally I doubt if many community members actually read that. Me too :(
Well, I was seeking for people to take my packages over. I didn't want to SPAM all lists, so I asked where I thought the chance that somebody would step up was reasonably good. And again, I think that the leafnode package is a pretty good one to get into packaging: * it was (hopefully ;) in good shape when I abandoned it * upstream development is slow, at best * it is not heavily patched, IIRC So all you need to do for a start is to keep it up to date with changes in the build service etc. Stricter rules coming up, new compilers being more pedantic, stuff like that. That's actually much easier than it might sound, because whenever something changes in the build service, you are not the only one with the problem and common answers are given quickly on the packagers list. I also do not have the feeling that opensuse-packagers is an especially hostile place. OK, I also refrain from answering the "please can somebody explain me packaging from the beginning?" questions, because I simply don't have the time to, but there should be no need answering such questions when taking over a reasonably maintained package ;) If it really turns out being that bad, you can still drop the package, and somebody else can then step up ;-) And don't forget to have a lot of fun... seife -- "I've never seen this before."
