I don't see any need for a formal review at this point. Not yet.

What I don't like in this sentence is the 'not yet'. This means we expect it to come and again we'll be one step behind, not having the proper process in place when we actually need it. I'd vote to try to go ahead, prepare the process, get the tools, for when the requests and submits get to a to high number to be handled on the ML that we're ready for it and can just do it(tm).

It doesn't have to be a formal review. But it's really not convenient to put the information you're requesting in a submitrequest, while it could be easy to put it in a web form and link the web page from the submitrequest (or even create the submitrequest automatically from there).

Special mailing list and refer to the posting in the SR? But really, bugzilla already provides tracking functionality, which would make this a bit better integrated. Even though I think bz sucks for discussion, the tracking would allow everyone to see who is responsible for the next step etc. Maybe the SR could automatically create a bugzilla request and assign it to the submission target's maintainer, and accepting it could create an automatic update message. (Or maybe the other way around - RESOLVED FIXED accepts, RESOLVED INVALID etc reject.) It would immediately make features such as voting, priorities, severity, reassignment etc available, it would allow us to put dependencies on other bugs (those which are mentioned in the changelog, for example) ...

- the submitrequest contains a note with informations about the package. Preferably you introduce the package to a mailing list (either topic or opensuse-factory) and point to that introduction in your submitrequest.

So what is the process that happens after the sr is created?

Who makes the decision, and how?

If it's not obvious to the one checking in, it's left for me to decide and I will discuss alternatives with the person submitting if I don't like what I see (as I said: the main objective is avoiding careless submissions of generated packages).

Don't you think tracking this via bugzilla for example might provide a bit more transparency than 1:1 e-mail?

Lars, if you want to volunteer to come up with a process to document, I'm fine with you stepping up. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
