In other, more explicit words this I guess means - only packages that are actually in Factory can be in devel:openSUSE:Factory Except they are to be submitted to Factory and people can convince either this list or opensuse-factory that there is no better place. The rules for new packages in Factory are still the old ones: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-07/msg00100.html quoting: "- the package has to be submitted and reviewed into an _existant_ devel project"
Well hidden. I've now added a link to http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/Packaging to http://en.opensuse.org/Factory_distribution#How_can_I_contribute.3F
- changes that were not accepted in Factory have to be removed from devel:openSUSE:Factory ? As for every other devel project: the package in there has to accept the Factory policies. If some change does not comply to it, it has to be fixed - in one way or another.
That's the theory and nowhere mandated. In practice the existing devel projects are a wild mix of staging for Factory, backports of Factory packages to older distros or even container for packages that never have and probably never will hit Factory. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
