Well, all maintainers are also peer-reviewers, I think.
Hmm, I'm not sure if the "who is allowed what" topic is solved then or whether we have the same definitions :-o. Alexey > ... decide who are the maintainers, that have Alexey > the final say on what gets in. vs. Pascal > I'll definitely be available to maintain packages in there. Let's start with the definitions * every package needs a "maintainer", the person who creates the spec file and is responsible for updating the package - there can be "maintainers" with hundred packages as well as "maintainers" with a single package - these people may or may not have direct write access to the package in the Contrib repo, see below * the repository needs a small group that has access rights to review & create packages and review changes (if there's going to be a review of changes) - "maintainer" is taken, call them "reviewers" perhaps? - number of "reviewers" is going to be much lower than the number of "maintainers" in the long term - of course, anyone can help with reviews, but the final decision is up to this group Do we speak the same language? Or does "maintainer" mean something different to you? Now "who is allowed what" * "reviewers" can do anything by definition, they have write access to Contrib * IMO being a "maintainer" does not necessarily mean being a "reviewer" a) "maintainer" only has access to Contrib/mypackage, OR b) "maintainer" only has access to home:maintainer/mypackage and changes are propagated to Contrib/mypackage _somehow_ (_link vs. submitreq) (Replace Contrib above with openSUSE:Factory:Contrib, openSUSE:11.1:Contrib or whatever the final names will be.) Does this make sense to any of you or do you have a different model in mind? thanks, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
