[opensuse-factory] Adding new packages to Contrib
Hi, I tried to describe a process of adding packages to the Contrib repo: http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib/Adding_new_packages . Note that this is just a proposal, if you think that something is missing, or that something is a plain stupid requirement, just say so :). I just thought it's time to have something more specific.

Maintainer's tasks: 1. Why you "osc" commands? I think maintainer can work with web interface as well... 2. relax-requirement: Testing - I think either on x86 or x86-64 is fine. 3. If you think your package is ready... (lack license) We need require license to be OSI approved. Newbie maintainers won't give us priprietary stuff this way. Reviewers' Tasks: 1. (??? Relax this rule for packages with little or no security risks, like games without multiplayer mode?) 1.a. Yes, I think it can be relaxed for pure userspace apps (not daemons, not LKMs, ...) 1.b. We need to ask Novell security team to provide us basic security guidelines - and publi9sh that on the wiki. 2. (??? Or make a copy of the package and let the maintainer send submit requests. Not decided yet) Link for now. After feature-freeze copy. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Feel free to add screenshots explaining how to do it in the web interface.

This is already a requirement for all buildservice packages, it has nothing to do with Contrib.

Well, yes, I'm for that option too. Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I added a note to the Reviewers' Tasks checklist: # If the package is distributable via the Build Service at all (refer to the Application Black List) and has an opensource license.

Additional rule: If package comes from Factory, we can relax those rules. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
