[opensuse-buildservice] Requesting to create a top level project "Contrib"
Hi, (cross-posting to OBS & Factory) We would like to create a top-level project for third-party packages for openSUSE, named: "Contrib". Our goals is to setup some kind of universal repository for third-party packages. This repository should be viewed as a community-driven extension of Factory, with all standards and limitations applied. Current model of third-party packages for openSUSE is broken in many user's opinion. There are lots of packages across hundreds of Build Service projects, which is hard to download & navigate. Packages are often duplicates, and aren't tested. Current model is good for experimentation and development but is bad idea for deployment. We want to make a new model, which suites deployment & distribution. ... For more info, Our project's main site: http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Please don't cross-post. Let's discuss the contrib repository into more detail before going for a repository in the OBS. There's still a lot to do before we're at that stage, really. Let's not put the cart before the horse. [...]

Now that's a good way of getting flamed by people on opensuse-buildservice who didn't read the whole thread on opensuse-factory :)

Umm.. "blah" ? :)
Alexey, really, let's keep this topic on -factory first.
Either you want a coordinated effort with several contributors or you
just rush something badly thought out on your own.
If you want the former, then we're not done discussing it.
cheers
