According to the wiki page, the only open issues are security fixes and updates. Marcus, could you please look at
http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib and http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-11/msg00410.html
and comment on it? First, you should perhaps just start doing stuff there and see how it works out.... Second [...]
I think the question to you is rather about how to ensure that we know about security problems and such. So how would we best do the work you guys do for the Contrib repo?
The handling is pretty easy. Just submit a patch to the packages in the <version>:Contrib repo and patch/newer version to Factory:Contrib. Like you said.
There is one question for this which I had in part 2:
Will you have seperate repos for old versions like 11.1 and Factory and backport to the old versions?
Or do you always go the current upstream version, like e.g. packman does?
If there are per-product contrib repositories with backports, it will be much more work and require more involvement.
Yes we know but this is already agreed upon. The general idea was to mimic Factory as much as possible. So backporting security stuff is what we will do.
For notifications of security issues I have no idea yet, but can discuss this with the team... We could mail / bugreport issues with packages in Contrib for instance.
Oh if you could do that this would be very cool. Please ask them! Henne -- http://opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org
