Hi,
Many people complain about Factory lacking dependencies on update. Most often this is due to new packages not yet being legally reviewed.
So we discussed two policy chances (and will act on it after this email):
- package splits / renames won't be reviewed in the future. For this clearly mark the split in the changelog. And do not branch packages that are not subpackages (this is _very_ important!).
- new packages won't be checked into STABLE unless the base packagage (the name of the .src.rpm) is already reviewed (state production). Submit those packages to BETA and send a mail to suse-dist and only after your package was approved for distribution, submit it to STABLE.
You can also submit it to STABLE too so you do not forget about it, but checkin will be delayed.
JFYI, this might get anyway enforced when we do checkin via the build service later (not that fare away anymore ~ 1,5 month ;). And another JFYI for the externals, STABLE is a suse internal name for Factory. You see the obvious reason, why selected a different name externaly ;) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
