Czech Packagers Team meeting minutes 2008-06-12 =============================================== Present: anicka, anosek, lmichnovic, mmarek, nadvornik, pgajdos, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: anicka Topics: (1) New OBS version (2) Mailing list about RPM problems in real life (1) New OBS version =================== We are going to thoroughly test new features of openSUSE Build Service, especially new means for collaboration. We have discussed a future possibility of decreasing the number of maintainers in various projects. A lower number of trustworthy maintainers reviewing all new commits should increase the security of using packages from these repositories. (2) Mailing list about RPM problems in real life ================================================ When we started the discussion about common packaging practices for openSUSE and Fedora, we found out very soon that a lot of our guidelines is just stating how to work around various problems of RPM. We decided to continue the discussion together with the RPM upstream. At least for the start, we are going to use the rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org mailing list; anyone wishing to join the discussion is welcome. For start, sbrabec has written a document about the most apparent packaging problems: http://wiki.rpm.org/Problems.
