Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-03-31 ========================================== Present: sbrabec, mkudlvasr, puzel, pgajdos, matejcik, prusnak, anicka, mseben, mhrusecky, mvyskocil, nadvornik 1. Dropped repository ===================== We agreed on Dropped repository. It should contain some sources of packages dropped from our distribution. This packages will not build against any repository. To Dropped repository should go someone who would like to restore old package. 2. Opensuse Buildservice ======================== We all should use Opensuse Buildservice tools. For example submitting noncritical patches via submit requests to devel project instead of submitting them directly into factory (either via osc or via yapt). Maintainer of package may want to decline patch for various reasons. For example maintainer can be in the middle of version update which includes patch you want to submit. Also submitting patches directly into factory may broke devel project and other projects linked against it. And these projects may contain several nontrivial already prepared patches. Also using internal tools and not using devel projects makes it more difficult for community members to help us with development. 4. Packaging guidelines ======================= We need HELP with merging our existing SUSE Package Conventions into Fedora Packaging Guidelines. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-03/msg00042.html 5.
