[opensuse-factory] Requesting to create a top level project "Contrib"
Hi, (cross-posting to OBS & Factory) We would like to create a top-level project for third-party packages for openSUSE, named: "Contrib". Our goals is to setup some kind of universal repository for third-party packages. This repository should be viewed as a community-driven extension of Factory, with all standards and limitations applied. Current model of third-party packages for openSUSE is broken in many user's opinion. There are lots of packages across hundreds of Build Service projects, which is hard to download & navigate. Packages are often duplicates, and aren't tested. Current model is good for experimentation and development but is bad idea for deployment. We want to make a new model, which suites deployment & distribution. ...

Please don't cross-post. Let's discuss the contrib repository into more detail before going for a repository in the OBS. There's still a lot to do before we're at that stage, really. Let's not put the cart before the horse. [...]

Now that's a good way of getting flamed by people on opensuse-buildservice who didn't read the whole thread on opensuse-factory :)

Umm.. "blah" ? :)
Alexey, really, let's keep this topic on -factory first.
Either you want a coordinated effort with several contributors or you
just rush something badly thought out on your own.
If you want the former, then we're not done discussing it.
cheers

Coolo already created it apparently: And gave some hints about how he envisioned the BS practicalities being handled. (#opensuse-project last thursday). <coolo> cb400f: openSUSE:Factory:Contrib was created - I'm maintainer for now, but I'll add as many as necessary. I would suggest to keep the number of people to maintain limited though - and use source links to people's home projects <coolo> (and copy away once 11.1 is done) <coolo> possibly even without their explicit permission <cb400f> ok.. but how would it prevented that people do major breakage one week before release for example? <coolo> cb400f: well, we can copy off early or revert once we notice <coolo> major breakges one week before release is rather the rule than the exception :) <coolo> but I guess the copy off of sources should be done towards beta2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It is time to take rest Alexey. Martin copied his IRC log. There was no meeting, just conversation. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

We already created openSUSE:Factory:Contrib, which will be the home of the repo. Once we go into release mode of 11.1, we'll fork into openSUSE:11.1:Contrib - I'm maintaining these projects for now and I will add a team of people, once the rules are clear and these rules are used to create a list of packages to take from what home project.
