Yes, the home for handling the distribution parts is important, but a full upstream code hosting platform is out of the scope of openSUSE, I think.
So it should focus on integrating very well with platforms like gitorious, sourceforge and launchpad?!?
This definitely is an important part. As Rajko said in another email in this thread this is an area which currently lacks and should be improved.
It's a reference for what you can do with openSUSE, so it's of course a usable distribution, but it's not the only possible distribution you can build using the tools, packages and other infrastructure of openSUSE. Reference is meant as a standard example what the openSUSE platform is capable to do.
So the focus does not lay here anymore, but on developing the tools to let developers build and distribute their software. The fact openSUSE has a bunch of reference implementations is secondairy.
I wouldn't call it secondary. I think having a strong distribution still should be a primary focus of the openSUSE community as a whole. This is where it's proven, if all the platform work actually works, so we definitely need it. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@suse.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
