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.
