[opensuse-buildservice] Main project for peless, astrology!
My program peless has existed for a long time now. I was thinking that if it were a main project users could get it from "get software" without first setting search options. I have also packaged Pelle van der Scheer's program openastro.org. If it were a main project or a subproject of a main project people could get it without setting search options. Perhaps there should be a main project called "astrology" and openastro be a subproject, because I am also thinking about packaging a another program called Maitreya. If there were an project for openastro.org both I and perhaps Malcolm <malcolm_lewis@bellsouth.net> could be packagers for it since Malcolm was the first to package openastro on the buildservice. Also the author, Pelle van der Scheer <pellesimon@gmail.com>, if he has a buildservcie account and wants to be involved. What is the procedure for starting a main project? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

astrology sounds to me like belonging into nthe science:/ namespace. The openSUSE command line tool (osc) reports reports the mail addresses of the current maintainers. osc maintainer --email science Maybe "osc requestmaintainership science:astrology" already causes the required request to get the maintainership. I'm not sure as I never used it.

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_Factory includes some hints how to setup a new project. Your case is covered in the "Creating a new Devel Project" section. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

Let's not diss people's stuff - it isn't science, but a lot of people enjoy it. Astrology could fit into a variety of categories including entertainment or miscellaneous apps. Historically astrology and astronomy were at one point indistinguishable. Did you know there's a chamaeleon constellation? An antique illustration would be a nice accompaniment. cheers Helen

Hehe. To stress it: The intention of my answer was to show how a project in the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) is expected to work. How you name your pet is up to you. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
Could there be a main project for "Astrology" with sub projects for openastro.org and maitreya, and could I (pelliott11) be made the packager owner of openastro.org and maitreya? By making astrology a main project one avoids the political question about what the proper classification of astrology is. Alternatively, astrology could be made a sub-project of "Graphics". No matter what one's opinion of astrology everyone has to agree that astrology programs produce graphical output. I see that the openastro.org's upstream authors have also used this diplomacy. They have filed their menu for openastro under Graphics. But may be this is wrong because I see that "Graphics" is a development project for OpenSuse:Factory and I intend to package openastro and maitreya for all the distros I can..... Thank You.

Some would make that exact statements about the Bible. Entertainment might be a safe and relatively inoffensive project. Helen On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 7:42 PM, Mathias Homann <admin@eregion.de> wrote:

This endless discussion is becoming tedious. Could someone with the authority make a decision and just do it? On Wednesday, February 16, 2011 08:49:33 pm Paul Elliott wrote:
