Could somebody involved with the contrib repository explain what the current status is and what are the next steps?

Thanks, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I had a busy week, and other contrib-utors weren't active. Anyway: The status is that we are reviewing packages: iperf, banner. And rejected one package: putty.

All the progress is documented here: http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib/packages

Next steps would be reviewing more packages, and including the successfully reviewed ones. Plus we need to agree on that policy: http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib/Adding_new_packages -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

About putty being rejected because gtk1 dependency, according to this post (http://jamesmcdonald.id.au/open-source-apps/putty-gtk2), GTK2 support is now upstream.

Not really involved but an opensuse-contrib mailing list has been created to move the discussion about Contrib to there and hasn't seen any post yet. :-)

Those are great news !

OK, I have started a discussion there, on the new mailing-list. Thanks Stephan. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
