Hi,
here is a short list of packages looking for adoption by a nice maintainer:
benchmark/iozone
developer/fakeroot
developer/versioning/guilt
editor/bvi
editor/jedit
image/virtualgl
library/idnkit
library/libosip2
library/xmlrpc-c
shell/shmux
terminal/roxterm
web/aget
Considering that we have been talking about this for several months,
if nobody is interested in updating them right now, I guess they
should simply be deprecated instead of carrying old versions around.

Some old open source programs are not maintained any more but they do well what
they are supposed to do. I think xfig is in this case. However they are still
usefull and used. It is always a loss of time to have to find a source and
recompile it when you install a new computer with a recent OS distribution
(such as OI-Hipster1604).
There are also programs that are still maintained but of which an old version
is in OI, such as cups: it is better to have an old cups than no cups at all.
As long as such programs work I would keep them in distributions. If one does
not like to have them with the others, they could somehow be flagged as old.
I'll see if I can make a package with a working version of xfig. Can you point
me to an howto (assuming I have a working compiled version for OI).
Thanks
Marc

For packaging tips look for examples in other components. Also write down any
problems with the quality of the documentation, so we can make it better.
Cheers,
Adam

I would like to see is
1. A page about build environment preparation, especially what
packages are needed (and how to install them) to build all userland packages
Some words when you are trying to build in a zone. A
downloadable script would be nice...
2. How and when to update the build environment.
3. A sample for a new package (steps that are needed) and a sample
for updating an existing package.
4. Tips (collection of best practices and caveats).
I think all this would make it easier for newcomers.
Regards
Andreas
