Also, are there some guidelines/policies to standarize the behaviour of packages in OpenSuSE? http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfref_library/detail.php?tab=doc&reference_id=1544&group=1367 Thanks! I'll take a look. Could someone please point out where can I find a document describing the steps I need to follow in order to build a package http://www.opensuse.org/SUSE_Build_Tutorial Thanks for that URL too.
I've briefly looked at it and it seems to only explain how to build the RPM packages. What I'm looking for is a guide explaining the procedures that I need to follow in order to get my packages (the RPMs I build following the steps in SUSE_Build_Tutorial) to become part of OpenSUSE (instead of third-party packages). What do I need to do in order for my packages to become part of OpenSUSE (e.g. distributed in the OpenSUSE ISO files, listed in the official package listings, etc.)?
We have started to discuss that but we're still far(?) away from having real solutions and thought out concepts on how to do that. Please read the quite long thread about that here in the archives: http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2005-Sep/0200.html
We are interested in creating a centralized repository of packaged software following some guidelines/policies to integrate properly, right?
Yes we are. Please read the email thread above and you'll see that it isn't an easy task but we've
started to think about it ;)
Thanks to Andreas Girardet's work, the following wiki page also summarizes most of what has been
discussed so far: http://www.opensuse.org/Packager
Note that we're currently more or less waiting for the SUSE staff to release 10.0 final to have them
actively involved into that topic. Let's just give them some time to concentrate on giving us the
best SUSE Linux that has ever been ;)
Get involved in the discussion as soon as we start picking it up again.
Of course, you may also post your ideas, comments or whatever right now, but it would be a lot more
useful in a very few weeks' time.
cheers
