Awesome, thanks a lot! You did a really great job with integrating ostree as a package with Debian, I didn't get that far back then when working on it. The package currently seems to have vanished from the archive index pages, I guess it's just a temporary glitch... >> Regarding packaging teams, I wonder whether it would make sense to >> start a new team and move related software under that umbrella. >> Specificallly, putting xdg-app, Limba, AppStream, appstream-glib and >> ostree together might make sense - right now,I am maintaining most of >> them in the pkg-packagekit Git repo. > > For now I've set the maintainer to the Utopia team because I'm a member > of that team and not pkg-packagekit, but I'd be happy to hand it over > to any relevant team, as long as I don't end up made responsible for > software I don't use. > > It would be nice if the git repo could stay in collab-maint if another > team takes it, rather than requiring special group membership: I'm trying > out an approach inspired by > <https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/ending_the_tyranny_of_unix_permissions/> > for this group of packages. Sounds good :) My idea would be a new team for bundled-apps, since there's quite some software belonging into that category... (Maybe something AppStream would fit in too) But for now, I think, adding another team just to add another team is useless if it's just us two working on it, so we can add a new team when it's actually needed :-) Thanks again for working on this!
