Hi,

Here's a list of package that exists in G:C, but not in G:F. These are
candidates to be moved to Contrib as long as they don't depend on
packager newer than what's in the distro.

Given some examples below I think this list is a bit misleading. (I
didn't take part on the meeting though).
The subject implies that these can be candidates for Contrib but what
the list shows are a set of packages which are in G:C but not in G:F.

Yes, a simple diff between G:F and G:C generated this list.

The result has IMHO only partly to do with a discussion about what to
move to "Contrib".

We need to figure out what packages to move from the list. How about I
word it differently: "These are potential candidates..."?

G:F doesn't have all packages (for whatever reason) which are Gnome and
in official openSUSE (like gimp-branding-openSUSE and probably others I
don't recognize at first glance; Hub brought up some examples already).

I guess I could have compared it to oS:F but for some reason (which I
can not explain) I thought G:F would do it.


I'd have expected a diff between G:C and openSUSE:Factory because
Contrib only will have additional packages and no replacements.
But anyway that's a starting point so thanks for the list.

Yep, see above.


My comments below are really about Contrib (and not G:F):

Nautilus

is actually "nautilus" -> already in openSUSE (obviously)

I'd be keen to know why it was packaged as "Nautilus" instead of
"nautilus"... Doesn't make any sense to me... :-)

The rest of your email will be destroyed forever...

So... I guess I will generate a new list from oS:F and send it here...

Cheers,
Magnus
