I think we should estabilish something like the Fedora package review guidelines.
Fedora's Package Review Guidelines are a nice checklist for measuring quality of packages, however, in our case, the most important question IMHO should be: "Does this package *need* to be part of the core distribution?". For many packages a home in the buildservice repositories is actually the better option: * Buildservice packages can be updated after distro release quite easily (and without wasting space in you repositories) * Can be provided for released distributions * For the end-user, using buildservice packages is IMO as easy as using distribution packages.
There are plenty of small useful packages on the net. And yes, I believe that they need to become part of the core distro. Especially for offliners among us, that download whole repository and use it locally. And looking at 100 different repositories (Build Service Home projects) is not the same thing as looking into 1 main repository. I prefer to have 1 place to look for packages. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"
