Hi, everyone, I feel honored to broadcast this exciting news! Yesterday with the help of Jerzy, I got maintainership for X11:Cinnamon:*. So we can keep going now. For now, this project is left behind. Upstream is 2.0.2 and we're still 1.6.7. I see many home projects have higher versions of Cinnamon: http://software.opensuse.org/package/cinnamon There's even latest 2.0.2 out there. So I call people to submit your packaging work to X11:Cinnamon:Factory freely, I'll wait you there. And I need a few experts to act as repository maintainer with me. So we can cherry-pick packages from home projects (not just linking or copying, we have to merge changelogs so we will not override other people's credits) My plan is: 1. cleanup work. remove 12.1 tagets becasue it's EOLed. and considering remove GNOME34 tagets (don't know if it's possible, open to discussion here) 2. add new targets 12.3, 13.1 Tumbleweed. (maybe a new X11:Cinnamon:GNOME38 or something to absorb Cinnamon 1.8, also open to discussion) 3. copy new packages from home:cyberorg:cinnamon because it has latest versions and fix possible packaging warnings/bugs if there're. 4. cherry-pick packages from the same project and merge changelogs. 5. solid testing. After we finished the update job. welcome to test if your old annoying bugs are still there in newer versions, and we'll find a way to eliminate them. 6. find as many guy interested as possible to keep this project going and hope one day we can make it 13.2 or 13.3 So now: 1. Everyone interested in this project (a must) and have a home repository (so we can see if you're qualified) can apply maintainership against: X11:Cinnamon It's the project we keep permissions. If accepted, you can deal with all X11:Cinnamon:* sub-projects. For now there's a problem that if no one is added to X11:Cinnamon:Factory, we won't have any notifications if there're submit requests against it. As a workaround I added myself maintainer there. I want a bugowner for this project, because my daily-use DE is actually KDE. I myself personally prefer those who have already been repository maintainers to apply, because you have already known how this game plays and how important working with upstream is. And those who have strong packaging skills and know how to use mailing lists. Because at this stage we just need underlying works. After a few weeks, I welcome every daily Cinnamon users who have passion to apply some permissions, in that way this project will not be inactive any more just because we shift or turn our head to other projects (eg, I personally feel more responsible to keep M17N going...because without that, I can't even input anything in openSUSE) But also, my idea is open to discussion here. 2. Everyone who already have some Cinnamon bits inside your home, please merge the old changelog from X11:Cinnamon:Factory if there already been a package there (copy and keep items in correct timestamp, easy) and submit, or just submit if it's a new package.
