Hi all,
I've decided to continue this discussion somewhere more in public. For people who were not involved from the begining, let's repeat what's going on.
We've got plan for opening openSUSE Factory development. And part of this plan is maintaining all openSUSE packages in some repositories in buildservice. What I was proposing was to create one repository for Palm/Windows Mobile/whatever your device use synchronization programs. I sent mails to SynCE maintainers and OpenSync maintainers and it seems like some maintainers agrees that common project for these stuff is a good idea.
Sounds good to me. Nevertheless I would like to keep subprojects (see below).
What is left is the name of this project. I discussed it with darix and as we already have network:synchronization project, he proposed that we can maintain our packages in there. Feedback I've got from other maintainers suggest that we all would prefer something with name that would suggest that it's about mobile devices so users wouldn't need to know where to look and it may be obvious from project name. On the other hand I agree with darix that we should try to minimalize pollution of buildservice by creating other synchronization project. So I'm suggesting network:synchronization:mobile as a project name. This way we will have something with mobile and synchronization in it and we wouldn't polute buildservice much.
We should definitely use another repository because network:synchronization is IMHO for stuff like rsync or csync and has nothing todo with Mobile/PIM synchronization. What about "Synchronization" as a new toplevel project? Furthermore, I would like to keep subprojects like: Synchronization:OpenSync:Factory (devel project for factory) Synchronization:OpenSync:SVN (svn snapshots) and maybe for released versions which are still maintained: Synchronization:OpenSync:$VERSION What do you think?
