Hello ? Why is anyone asleep ? So - what do you think of my comments ? We can, of course, accept the proposal as-is - as a release candidate, but I would like to improve it a bit. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org

I think packages need to be tested on either x86 or x86-64, not both. For kernel packages, we need to test on both architectures.
I changed it to: "... you should test it at least on one of the architectures. During the alpha and early beta phase of Factory, it is OK if you test the package on the latest openSUSE release only, but you should install a beta at some point of time and test your Contrib packages there."

Pascal? Are you subscribed?

Yes, I think we can relax this rule for non-network packages.
It now reads "If the package is actively maintained upstream. Exception to this rule are packages with little or no security risk, but the package maintainer should be able to keep the package working in openSUSE in such cases."
