openSUSE:11.2:Contrib report
Hello, I've just finished work on openSUSE:11.2:Contrib. Here's the report of what has been done: 1) 'osc copypac'ed all packages from openSUSE:Factory:Contrib (oS:F:C) to openSUSE:11.2:Contrib (oS:11.2:C) 2) set bugowners of all packages in oS:11.2:C 3) deleted following packages from oS:11.2:Contrib because they're also in openSUSE:11.2, which violates Contrib rules: autotrace CodeAnalyst diald gdome2 json-glib latex2html libunique mairix python-distutils-extra python-feedparser python-simplejson IMHO we should consider dropping of these packages from oS:F:C. 4) deleted following packages because they did not build for 11.2: avview bacula d4x dbxml dopi libtorrent-rasterbar lilypond scarse scala workrave 5) Unfortunately, I was told by one of the maintainers that he has no longer interest in maintaining his packages in Contrib, so these were deleted from oS:11.2:C. autossh hugs98 iksemel maxima pgfouine python-ontapi wxMaxima libgloox tor tork qgamex I've not removed them from oS:F:C, so if anybody is interested in taking over the maintenance, please let me know. Otherwise, I think they should be deleted from oS:F:C, too. 6) fix 'sourcelinked' package perl-Net-SMTP-SSL. As we don't allow sourcelinks in Contrib, this package was converted to regular package. Another such package is json-glib, which is in oS:F:C only - could anybody (preferably it's maintainer) please fix it? 7) A lot of packages had incorrectly set maintainer/bugowner. Most likely because those who accepted them forgot to set maintainer/bugwoner properly. I fixed some of such packages (with help of opensuse-contrib ML archives), but I definitely missed some. Please, check that you're set as bugowner of your packages in oS:11.2:C. Thanks! 8) ATM, only me and Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) are maintainers of oS:11.2:F, which means we are responsible for accepting fixes. Anybody willing to help is welcome, please let us know. (I think we have to discuss maintenance policy for oS:11.2:C in more detail - I'll post another mail soon.) Please let me know if I missed something. Finally, let me thank everybody who contributed to Contrib for their work! Let's keep up the good work and make Contrib even better repo for 11.3.

This appears a bit inconsistent. As noted correctly in 3), json-glib is part of Factory and as such should probably be removed from Contrib. There seems no reason to fix a link that should not exist. Or maybe I just mis-understood what you said here. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org

But some people use contrib built for 11.1 and in contrib there is pidgin-facebookchat, which depends on json-glib. So by deleting json-glib completely, we will break pidgin-facebookchat. -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, openSUSE Boosters Team ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: puzel@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 http://www.suse.cz 190 00 Prague 9, CR
