* offlineimap * python-setuptools * repoview Yes, putting those in contrib would be good idea. This is where they really should belong. I disagree. The above packages should be kept in openSUSE IMHO. As Christoph and Greg already noticed offlineimap and python-setuptools will still be maintained at Novell.
How is the fact that Novell employees will maintain the packages relevant to where they should live (main repository or contrib repository, in this case)?
It's not. But I consider it "basic" functionality of a Linux distribution. The "kept in openSUSE" is the point which means "kept in the core set" and that implies "maintained at Novell". Can you follow? ;-)
I'm trying to follow ;-) I honestly don't know about python-setuptools and repoview. So let's just talk about offlineimap: is it really basic functionality for you? It's certainly not for me. I expect 95% of our users to not even care about it (but it's truly awesome, I agree).
Honest question -- I'm an offlineimap user, so I certainly want it to be well-maintained.
Yes, but that's completely irrelevant for where it's being hosted. I know a set of packages which are not well-maintained although they are maintained by Novell and not the community.
Heh. Fair enough :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
