Hi Packman folks! You might be aware of Contrib - Universal openSUSE Repository for 3rd party Packages. For those who are not, I recommend reading http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib wiki page.
I have an idea, or proposal if you wish: what do you think of moving all the "clean" packages from Packman to this new and shiny Contrib repository? :) By "clean" packages I mean packages: * which do not break rules for putting inside BuildService (no patent issues, no "hacking" tools, etc.) * which fulfill requirements for putting inside Contrib (no file clash with Factory, etc.) * with no dependencies outside of Factory and/or Contrib This will have following advantages: * more maintainers for your packages (even from the Novell staff) * security updates for released distributions (with the help from SUSE Security Team) * more testing (during openSUSE beta phase) ... and disadvantages: * packman maintainer will no longer be the only one who is altering the package * packman repository could become easier target, because it would have higher ratio of "problematic" packages These are the issues that came to my mind right now, but I might have mised some. I am looking forward for your feedback! -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o Package Maintainer Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz
