There is some logic behind distributing the sources in this way, but for collaborative development it seems rather inefficient. If forge has the SVN repo, I would have thought that this would be a perfect place for collaboration.
Having to develop out of the rpm and tarbal source is a RPITA with it comes to creating patches and merging updates from everyone into the distributed working copies out there.
While I have been using SuSE since version 8.0, I am new here, so please do correct me if I am wrong on this or have missed out something. probably not seeing the big picture at this point.
our xml sources are the single source for documentation for all SUSE Linux / openSUSE based products (e.g. the former SUSE Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, SUSE LInux Enterprise Desktop,...). So each change to the sources may have an affect on the different documentation sets we are building from this source. Therefore we need to be extra careful when merging "3rd party" contributions into our documentation. So, we really appreciate feedback and user contributions, but need to have full control on what goes back into our sources. Therefore the "RPITA way" of accepting contributions ;-)). -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.novell.com/ "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
