I was wondering if there is a definite decision about how to go on forward with the seperation of Contrib and mainline Factory.
If I remember correctly Contrib was the place to submit stuff to as normal contributor to openSUSE, now Factory is open for everybody to submit stuff, based on reputation, skills and whatnot. So what's the future of Contrib now, this looks like a limbo state to me.
Ack. Contrib doesn't make sense to me either.
It did make sense when each package in Factory had to have a maintainer from Novell.
What I propose is the following:
a) branch o:F:C into o:11.3:C when Factory is branched into 11.3
b) once Factory is open for new packages, find devel projects for all packages in Contrib, move them there and send requests for inclusion Factory
In general, I agree. But IMO this step should be done in cooperation with individual maintainers, because: 1. We don't want to enforce maintainers to have their packages in Factory against their will. 2. That way we could identify abandoned packages (I fear there are some in Contrib).
c) once B is finished, kill o:F:C and maintain only forked version of Contrib (+properly communicate the changes so people will be aware they can (and should) push their packages into Factory)

I also thought packages could only be added to factory if there was room on the DVD? Or is that a separate decision? If so, how is it tracked? Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
