Hi All ! I'm the creator of contrib but since I'm working on other, non-related things, I have basically have little time to maintain contrib actively, and the project came to halt. I may go back to contribute actively eventually, but there is no timeline - so don't count on it. I have proposed myself to include a few packages, but after a review we decided to drop them. We - means me and other reviewers. We have a two layered system here: (Contrib) Reviewers and (Package) Maintainers. Reviewers review packages provided by maintainers and maintain the whole repository, while maintainers maintain only maintain their packages, propose new packages for review/inclusion.
* will be branched on each distribution release (openSUSE:Factory:Contrib -> openSUSE:11.2:Contrib) Yes I agree with this point of view.
Here is the home page of contrib: http://www.opensuse.org/contrib I think the real goal is the unification of both (Factory+Contrib), like happened in Fedora (Core+Extras), but we are very far from it. So Contrib is the step in the right direction. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org
