@Will: hope my message got to you, but I never received any reply... The most important question I had there is what the main tasks are when being a maintainer of a package in KDE.Community, other than providing the (newest) version as rpms...

PS: I'm currently changing my packages' layout in order to prepare for submission to KDE:Community if you're still interested
Hi Nico
I'm afraid your message didn't reach me until now.
Maintaining a package in Community is much the same as anywhere else but you have direct access to the package instead of going via submitrequest.
* Be a quality packager, fix problems in your packages reported by rpmlint * Keep your packages up to date ** Monitor upstream for security problems or critical bug fixes ** Write good .changes entries * Respond to bug reports concerning your packages * Communicate if you are no longer able to maintain a package, don't just disappear
That's not too heavy, is it?
sounds fair ;) should I send submitrequests with my new packages? I basically need all packages inside home:NicoK:banking - some words about them: - kmymoney (some changes including added static libraries which the kmm_kbanking plugin needs in order to compile - submitrequest 25679 covers that, but this goes to KDE:Backports and I just saw that your repositories are not using this - how do you handle this? I suppose linking the package would be a solution...) - libraries including aqbanking, gwenhywfar and ktoblzcheck - I've taken some of them from openSUSE:Factory, updated them and adapted the package (partly merged with the packages from packman). I could try pushing the updates upstream though and just use linked packages which is probably a good idea... - libchipcard4 linked from security:chipcard - qbankmanager - a lighweight aqbanking gui taken from packman packages Nico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
