hi,
on irc we had a discussion about adding some logical namespaces.
It was started by looking for the right place for a php project. we now agreed on having a "server:" namespace. the first proposed projects in that namespace we see: server:apache (the former Apache project) server:mail (exim and home:choeger:postfix could be moved there) server:ftp server:php (php project, and php extensions, and my hardened php package) server:dns (i will move my pdns, mydns, nsd packages there. maybe the bind and dnsmasq package could move there aswell?:) )
Oh goody. I was about to add pdns to my project, but it looks like you saved me the trouble :-)
It would be nice to have a server:voip aswell. peter nixon has some packages in that area iirc. :)
I am glad someone noticed! *grin* I already created a project titled "telephony" a few weeks ago, but would be happy to rename it to the server: namespace. (Clients are for wimps!) I think that Telephony is probably a better name than VoIP, but I am willing to go with consensus here... On another note, how on earth do I add a project to "my projects"?? I dont see anywhere to tick/click/bash... I also don't appear to have permission to allow others to help out with my project...
The jpackage projects are moved into the Java: namespace.
Some people might ask: why dont you just move php into the apache project. The answer is pretty short: Because it makes its impossible to build newer php against older apache versions. with the new layout we can add server:apache:<somedist> as build target to the php project aswell as the plain suse distros. :)
So in long term i would suggest to join such logical project instead of having multiple "mixed purpose projects". if you want to add a package to such a project please contact the project owner on this list.
keep up the good work everyone
Speaking of namespaces, who do we have to kill to get packages/projects/widgets sorted in alphabetical order? I have >20 packages in my project and its getting hard to find the correct one at a glance. The project situation is even worse, being spread out across multiple pages... -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
