Hi,
Since I'm waiting doing nothing, I'm looking at the list of packages in G:F and starting to look at what we could move to G:C (the goal being to have them in Contrib) -- or drop them.
The criterias I used to create this list are something like: + is the project still alive upstream? + is it useful for that many people?
For those wondering, I can see a Novell reason to move stuff (I guess it means less things to support for Novell), but also a reason for the community (less rules, so faster action possible).
So, list of stuff:
+ all the galago things: we don't even know if it's still working (note to self: this includes gnome-presence-applet)
+1 Move
+ bakefile: it seems it used to be required by webkit, but it's not anymore?
If so, die.
+ bombermaze: old game. Old. Did I say it's old? But probably fun.
+1 Move
+ conglomerate: an XML editor. Not really developed anymore.
+1 Move
+ eiciel: an ACL editor. I thought nautilus does this now?
It does all the extended ACl stuff as well?
+ fyre: a nice app, but, hrm, not really needed by many people
Agreed.
+ g-wrap: something related to guile. Not used by anything?
I thought gnucash used this at one point
+ gDesklets: I'm unsure there, feedback welcome.
Move it.
+ gbrainy: cool game, but not sure why it's here.
It was a request to put it in and I liked the game :-). I would be fine with a move.
+ giver: err, this didn't move lately, and last thing I heard about it is that it's not totally ready
Keep it around one more cycle at least.
+ glade: why do we keep the old unmaintained glade?
For compat - glade-3 drastically altered the xml on a load/save of a glade 2 document. Moving it should be fine now.
+ gnome-blog: handy I guess, but not for most people
I tried to drop it before and got resistance, but contrib seems reasonable since its not being updated upstream.
+ gnome-commander: not a lot of people replace nautilus
Enough we got several requests about it. I think we keep it for now.
+ gnome-reset: like gnome-blog
Move, I think supportconfig could maybe supersede this.
+ gnome-themes-extras: maybe? Depends on the themes in there, I guess
Keep for now I think.
+ gnomeicu: most people will use pidgin or a telepathy-based client
Agreed, move.
+ gob2: tool for developers, but I don't think anything use it anymore
gnome-pilot still might.
+ goobox: old sound-juicer competitor
+1 Move
+ gqview: we have eog
+1 Move.
+ gthumb: a bit harder, but I think most people are happy with f-spot
Keep it around one more cycle at least.
+ libesmtp: needed by balsa (which is not in G:F, but is related to G:F) balsa is not that used, so a good candidate too (oops, libesmtp is required by kdump, so no)
I think we should put the package up "for sale" then on opensuse-packagers.
+ libghttp: not used by anything?
Appears to have been used by gconf 1.x back in the day. Move/drop.
+ libiptcdata: needed by gthumb only
So whatever happens to gthumb...
+ libmcs: not used by anything? + mergeant: not really for end-users...
True, but for developers I think we should keep it.
+ mozilla-bonobo: err. Bonobo?
Well, useful when things had bonobo viewers that could be embedded. +1 Move.
+ tasque: is it still developed?
Keep, getting some upstream love at least. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
