Fuduntu was largely based on user friendliness, focused on the best out of box experience we could provide.

We had distribution agreements with Valve, dropbox, adobe (flash), copy.com, and others, as well as providing a netflix-desktop package in our repos, and installing all neccessary codecs and drivers for things like wireless cards in the default install.

I don't want to diminish your motivation, but have you checked https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist ? Due to legal reasons, we cannot redistribute everything in our OBs instance at build.opensuse.org. Since we're hosted in Germany (and not the Canary Isles or elsewhere), we have to abide some laws ;-) Some software, like acroread need special agreements with their vendors. SUSE (being the sponsor of build.opensuse.org) thankfully has most of those you mentioned. For the codecs and other stuff, you could get in touch with our evil twin OBS at http://packman.links2linux.de/ o:-D

One of our biggest draws was the continued upkeep of Gnome2, which with the decline of gtk2, was really the biggest impetus for EOL for the project. We will be packaging and offering the Consort desktop as part of FuSE, likely being the default DE, as it has much the same look and feel as Gnome2 for the people that liked it.

Hello Shawn, Nice to hear openSUSE is the new base for that project. What will be the goals for FuSE Linux. What will be the difference to openSUSE? What packages will you have in devel:FuSE?

Hello, I am one of the project leads for FuSE Linux, which consists of

most of the old fuduntu team, and we are rebasing our project on openSUSE tumbleweed, and would like to get some some custom project names/repo names setup in OBS for our team to work in.

What all needs to happen in order to get this setup?

Hm, you want to submit and build an entire distribution? How many source packages do you expect inside of it?

Depending on the number and the build load we may need to discuss how not to affect our standard openSUSE work then ...

I like to suggest that we create a devel project namespace for you for now, eg. devel:FuSE.

You can test your setup there and we see if it works out for you and us. In case it creates a load problem, we may need to discuss about hardware sponsoring.

Or you can of course move the build load to your own OBS instance.

If you just submit a few hundred packages and share most of the packages anyway with Tumbleweed it is not problem at all of course.

Please, do not misunderstand this mail, it is great that you consider OBS and openSUSE as a base and we will help you in any case. It is just that a second Factory distro in OBS must not disturb our regular Factory developers :)

sounds this okay for you? adrian

Alrighty, we talked it over, and a devel:FuSE would be great. We're only looking at a couple hundred packages at most for now (probably even less than that for the next few months while we get spun up) and that setup will work well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
