- your (possibility for) involvement in the packaging tools and build infrastructure, which we will change to the better, but not immediately, and not next week.
Not next week? Pah, Some use you lot are! [:)] But yes, this is an area I would see myself naturally fitting in, assuming you mean working in a packager capacity.
- selection of packages to be included on the base distribution.
Again, yes, I would see this as an area to have influence in, allied with decisions on how to package them. A good example of this (and I know I've never added this to bugzilla - my bad) is Abiword. I've been doing packages of Abiword for ages now, effectively the closest this Abiword has to an official SUSE packager. I follow the Abiword team's convention of packaging it like this: abiword -plugins-tools -plugins-impexp -clipart Whereas SUSE have retained a monolithic package. Now, I'm not saying one way is inherently better than the other way, but it's an example of a point for discussion. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org
