In today's meeting, we tried to clarify the distinction between the new Contrib repository project and GNOME:Community. In a nutshell, we feel that Contrib is the community version of OSS/Non-OSS, in that packages are stable and released with the distro, and likely will only issue security updates and such during the lifetime of that distro version. Whereas, GNOME:Community (or G:C) is considered to be more bleeding edge. Likely, some things from OSS/Non-OSS might also get moved over to Contrib if enough community members can maintain it, thus relieving Novell of some of the packaging work and freeing up its devs. So it was decided that it is evident that we need to appoint a volunteer to monitor G:C/Contrib/OSS/Non-OSS and coordinate what packages need to be copied over to Contrib. But before we do that, we felt it was important to first determine what guidelines we as a group agree upon for how to determine the criteria for submitting to Contrib. And we're discussing that here and now. Note: No possible criteria was brought up during the meeting itself. Clean slate here. An example package we used in today's meeting was Pidgin. At what point do we feel that Pidgin in G:C is ready to be copied over to Contrib for the next distro release? Let the discussion begin! :-) Bryen Yunashko Proud 2008 openSUSE Board Candidate -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
