[opensuse-packaging] Cross-desktop games packaging mailing list
Hi all, if you are a games packager or have a general interest in FLOSS games, let me point you to games@lists.freedesktop.org The Debian and Ubuntu games teams have merged completely and the Fedora team has been working more and more with us to reduce duplicated work. We have been using the Debian games mailing list until now, but we decided that a distro-agnostic would be better. We will start defining requirements and possible layouts for intermediary repositories, soon. Distros could then pull from there and get a common, patched version. Distro-specific patches would be applied in your local SuSE repositories via your existing processes. It would be great if at least one SuSE games packager could subscribe to act as a liason. I suspect the rest will join over time as the benefits will, hopefully, be substantial. Thanks for reading this far and sorry to all people who are not interested in games packaging.

I'm not a general games packager, but as Team Member of the SUSE Autobuild team, I'm responsible for all package check-ins that end up in the official openSUSE distribution.

Reminds me to ask for a "education" mailinglist. ;-) Our Education Buildservice project gets more and more upstream maintainers and Fedora and Debian build targets are just "one click away" - but without enough knowledge it's not easy to package for other distributions. But perhaps it's even more interesting to have a general "cross-distribution" packagers mailinglist? What do you think?

=> subscribed. :-) With kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
