Hi,
I have some questions about how development occurs on the KDE Debian
packages:
1. Exactly what is the role of the alioth pkg-kde project ? AFAICT
from the website, there is no activity there, even the CVS
repository is empty.
2. Where does active development occur on the packages ? KDE CVS or
the repository on alioth ? If on KDE CVS, then in what branch do
you work ? 3_1 or HEAD ? When will you move to the new 3_2
branch ?
3. How do you handle the upstream releases ? Do you take an official
tarball as prepared by the KDE release dude, or do you pull your
own copy from CVS at a time that suits you ? What happens if you
then need to make some modifications to the debian-specific stuff
and release a new package, but still based on the same upstream
release ?
4. Is there an irc channel where you discuss the debian kde package
development ?
5. Is there some kind of procedure on committing changes to the
debian/ stuff ? I suppose trivial patches can be applied without
a problem ? Where does discussion occur on more intrusive patches
?
6. What is the status of the group maintainership ?
Well, those are basically the questions I have atm, I hope you can
provide me with some answers :)
thanks
