My program peless has existed for a long time now. I was thinking that if it were a main project users could get it from "get software" without first setting search options.

I have also packaged Pelle van der Scheer's program openastro.org. If it were a main project or a subproject of a main project people could get it without setting search options. Perhaps there should be a main project called "astrology" and openastro be a subproject, because I am also thinking about packaging a another program called Maitreya.

astrology sounds to me like belonging into nthe science:/ namespace. The openSUSE command line tool (osc) reports reports the mail addresses of the current maintainers. osc maintainer --email science Maybe "osc requestmaintainership science:astrology" already causes the required request to get the maintainership. I'm not sure as I never used it.

If there were an project for openastro.org both I and perhaps Malcolm could be packagers for it since Malcolm was the first to package openastro on the buildservice. Also the author, Pelle van der Scheer , if he has a buildservcie account and wants to be involved.

What is the procedure for starting a main project?

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_Factory includes some hints how to setup a new project. Your case is covered in the "Creating a new Devel Project" section. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
