I cut the post a bit because it vas so many subjects in it. My comment here is on the stability discussion.
2008/8/17 Pascal Bleser<pascal.bleser@opensuse.org>:
To summarize a bit: 1) who decides whether something is OK to be packaged in contrib ? 2) how do we decide on sufficient stability/quality for packages to go intro contrib ?
A set of checks can be made here: - does the programmer(s) of the SW consider the SW to be stable? - Is the SW stable in other mature distros? Fedore, Debian, Mandrake or Kubuntu - Is the SW maintained on a regular basis? - Is the SW programmer(s) interested in working with openSUSE? - an OBS project excists for the SW
If the selected criterias (not necicarily the ones above) are met, then it should be taken in to Contrib and a set of basic tests run. The tests should focus only on packaging/distro relatet issues. The screening above should make it clear the it functionality wise is ok.
So you would exclude things like xmms2 from the beginning? D'Oh. I so much would have liked to see openSUSE packages to try that one :(
I do not see it really excluded, but you could package it for yourself in your home: Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
