How so?
Robert, I responded with a couple of examples where the community is clearly not "in complete ownership of their "baby"". That's all. I totally appreciate that e.g. yast and xen are open to contributors, but that's a far cry from complete community ownership. If you can point us to non-SUSE contributors to YaST, I agree that YasT is not entirely in the hands of SUSE. I did in fact once offer to maintain the LILO section of the bootloader module, but then LILO was deprecated, well .... the same thing happened for JFS fileystem support in the partitioner. There was never any call for help, btw.
Well, unless people complaining that there is no non-SUSE guy sending patches to YaST start actually sending some patches, there is a little somebody else can do.
And no call for help? No invitation to participate? Closed? Really?

I'm sorry, but blogspots and news-sites are just not the right places, Michal. In my opinion. However, I did in fact see the YaST summer sale, but none of those modules were of any interest to me (nor do I speak ruby). You're right though, that was a call for help.
One of those links is also link to factory mailing list, blogposts are AFAIK aggregated on planet and probably (for sure for news) spread around social media. And there were several talks on conferences. I think there is hard to be more verbose about that. So it looks like there is nobody who knows ruby (or is willing to learn to it) and who wants to contribute to YaST. So hard to complain that SUSE it taking care of it and not letting it rot if there is nobody who wants to be involved.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
