Hello
I don't know a to maintain a package, and I would be interested to
maintain a package I use every day.
First I need to learn how to maintain an easy package. But I don't know
how to find one.
Question
***********
Is it possible to sort (and find) packages by the difficulty of its
maintainance ?
proposition
**************
If every package could contain information about the difficulty of its
maintainance,
- Every week on debian-devel the mail about Work-Needing and
Prospective Packages could show this information.
- The PTS could display this information in its general section
- UDD could order and find packages by difficulty.
Here are the informations I think could be usefull in the wnpp mail (and
in the PTS when it is not already there)
1. The name of the team the package belongs to.
==================================================
- I hope every package will one day belong to a team.
- I think that each package in wnpp or rfa or rfh should belong to a
team (other than QA).
2. the langages you need to know to maintain the package
=========================================================
3. an automatically generated information about the difficulty to
maintain the package
==================================================================
Three or more characters which could easily show the difficulty to
maintain the package.
AA0 for simple ones.
This information should be generated automatically.
3.1 about the source package
----------------------------------------
A : a source package generates one binary package
B : a source package generates multiple binary package
C : a source package contains multiple upstream source.
D : used for D-I (udeb)
E : a library
F : a daemon
G : part of the kernel
3.2 about the conffiles and the maintainer script
---------------------------------------------------------------
A : no modification from d-h
B : only one file like copyright or control need attention
....
E : non trivial maintainer script
F : very difficult maintainer script.
3.3 if the package need to follow some sub-policy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
O : none
A : java
B : perl
C : python
