Hi Pascal,

to now I do not have any public repo as SL10 will be my starting point in
packaging as I never did this before but I would like to contribute the
best I can.

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.
