Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2009-06-16
===============================================
Present: mhrusecky, mseben, mvyskocil, nadvornik,
pgajdos, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec
Minutes: pgajdos
(1) Jack Daemon
===============
mseben encounter a problems with jack audio server. Currently there is a
problem with coexistence between jack and pulseaudio in penSUSE:Factory. The
possible workaround could be switch to the jack2. New jack daemon can
cooperate with pulseaudio, so it could help to us avoid problems with sound
applications, which use jackd as sound server. The jackd2 packages are
prepared in home:mseben:audio repository.
(2) Broken Links in OBS
=======================
During an update of sun java in internal BuildService instance mvyskocil ended
with broken links after submit requests was accepted. The branches still
contains patches and new sources, even if they might be deleted after
accepting of a patch. In meanwhile he filled following bugreport:

(3) Merging Config Files
========================
mhrusecky was investigating possibilities how to realize merging of
configurations (feature#306411 [1] ). Currently it seems like it could be
possible via patching rpm and implementing another requested feature (see
zypp-devel mailing list [2] and feature#301175 [3]). As these things may
change, and it is always good to have everything in one place, he created page
on wiki [4] to track these ideas.
