(2) Dropped packages: =====================
puzel told us about packages dropped from Factory. One really interesting group of packages dropped was xsane and sane frontends. We all agreed that these packages are really useful and should maintained somewhere. So puzel proposed that he would maintain it in Contrib and if he'll encounter any problems he wouldn't have time to solve, we will help him.
You could also take over maintainer ship in Factory of those. Johannes just has no time for them.
Well, xsane is in Packman, so IMHO we don't need to bother about it. According to sane-frontends: yes, I could take maintainership in Factory, but as Daniel noted, having more packages in Contrib could attract more people to contributing. And there were many other packages moving from Factory to Contrib just because of this reason. -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, Packages maintainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: puzel@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 964 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
