Mailinglist Archive: opensuse-mobile (8 mails)

[Michal Hrusecky <mhrusecky@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've decided to continue this discussion somewhere more in public. For
people who were not involved from the begining, let's repeat what's
going on. 

We've got plan for opening openSUSE Factory development. And part of
this plan is maintaining all openSUSE packages in some repositories in
buildservice. What I was proposing was to create one repository for
Palm/Windows Mobile/whatever your device use synchronization programs. I
sent mails to SynCE maintainers and OpenSync maintainers and it seems
like some maintainers agrees that common project for these stuff is a
good idea.

What is left is the name of this project. I discussed it with darix and
as we already have network:synchronization project, he proposed that we
can maintain our packages in there. Feedback I've got from other
maintainers suggest that we all would prefer something with name that
would suggest that it's about mobile devices so users wouldn't need to
know where to look and it may be obvious from project name. On the other
hand I agree with darix that we should try to minimalize pollution of
buildservice by creating other synchronization project. So I'm
suggesting network:synchronization:mobile as a project name. This way we
will have something with mobile and synchronization in it and we
wouldn't polute buildservice much.

Last thing to add, I think that we can use mobile@xxxxxxxxxxxx to
discuss things about this repository and about development of packages
there. I think that traffic here is quite low so it can handle it without
problems and it's mailing list already focused on supporting mobile
devices...
