The bureaucracy is why I stopped contributing packages to Factory.
Simple as that.
Getting a package building and functioning is enough work. I just don't have the energy/time to pass the Factory 'bar' afterwards.
The interesting point here is that both parties are satisfied.
I don't read Klaus' statement as one of satisfaction. I infer he still wishes he could have found someone who was willing to work with him to get the package into Factory.
We've got good and maintainable distribution with good package quality.
The title of this thread is "how to get more packages into a central repo". It sounds to me Klaus found out how to become discouraged. I think there is a shared responsibility for the lack of the inclusion of whatever package Klaus got built and functioning, but not in Factory between Klaus and whomever made the personal decision(s) not to step forward and offer help or reduce the effort to include a package. Hmmpf "personal decision(s) not to step forward" sounds a bit strange to me :)
Anyway, I sometimes check requests to Factory, especially declined ones, and then try to send sr which would get package acceptable to Factory, in case of tcpreplay, I noticed some issues/room for improvement, thus I send sr, which lead to this whole thread. I kind of feel that we went full circle in this debate. tldr: stepping in lead to discussion about bureaucracy Regards Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
