I am hope that rpms which don't follow SUSE policies are no option. SUSE always standed for high quality. I don't expect Novell to change this. Thus there MUST be some QA process before (of course afterwards too) any package is added at all. Don't just grab random crap and add it. SPECS need to be reviewed before they are added, packages need to be tested, it must be ensured that even with add-on packages updates to newer SUSE Linux versions are possible, it should be ensured that someone is willing to maintain the package and updates it if a security issue is found, etc. Otherwise you end up like Ubuntu's universe with a big number of packages but not enough maintainers, a lot of broken packages, no security support, etc. We don't want this, do we?
I understand. I am just trowing ideas in the group. So what you are saying that the basics (looking at freshmeat) is good, but the implementation should be done differently? Is there any way to check SPECS automaticaly? -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs
