You probably won't be allowed to do so, because this would mean that you have to maintain your package for years[1] and even if you're willing to, you won't get a chance because non-suse employees with no reputation probably won't get access beyond Build Service[2]. This is opensuse "openness". I'd like to be proved wrong.

Currently, this is true, but the Buildservice is a very good start for a "new" program! (I have also some packages only in the BS and not in the "main" distribution.)

That, indeed, is the current situation. And given what the core distribution is (I mean e.g. "openSUSE 10.3") and what the expectations are towards it (stability, support, security fixes, QA), I hardly see what's wrong with the current situation. If you have a better concept on how to let anything into the distribution and still keep quality, support and reactiveness up to par with its current level, please enlighten us ;) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHkoXWr3NMWliFcXcRAsW8AJ4hf8Ny6cJFd5dnT50HGNwok8FeRQCgm+zG Qy+2zKZ0I4MjHZPnR95UysE= =WwRx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

While this is indeed so, he'd still be free to get his package into a suitable toplevel project (after having checked that it builds in his home project), which would make his package more visible.
