Hi.
Yeah, I know. I want to make the request first to X11:lxde and, if it is accepted, then I'll request a change in openSUSE:Factory patterns-openSUSE (as I was suggested). What I don't know is if I have to take some rules into account and if I can choose whatever package I can find in the OBS. Thanks.
Greetings.
In theory everything in OBS home projects is opensource as far as I know. I think even the specfiles that users may have written are supposed to be opensource if they are in OBS. In practice there are packages that are not appropriate and should not be in OBS. You should do at least a cursory review for legal issues. Both copyright issues related to proprietary software and violations of German law. German law does not allow hacker tools as an example. I think you will find some hacker tools in some home projects. Anyway, I evaluate those 2 concerns before I consider grabbing an existing package. If I think that passes, I next look at the quality of the specfile. If all 3 of those are good I branch the project and begin my own effort based on it. I guess you know all new packages to factory go thru legal review, so if you fail to identify issues that should have been found, it likely will be during legal review.
