<PRE>Folks,
It's not clear to me how things are going with mentoring and stuff, but here we go: I have made a few packages for Cauldron, and for the time being I've established a personal tiny repo (32-bit only + SRPMs) with them, so they could be tested and updated.
It all started with <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1659">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1659</A>
Now, here's the status:
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

Text description:
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
As I am playing with Mageia Cauldron (which will become Mageia 2.0 at some point) and I missed some packages (first things first, a newer calibre), I thought of creating my own packages, based on the fact that two years ago I made at some point an EL5-compatible repo.
As I am writing this, the newest calibre package is to be built and pushed to Mandriva 1 (updates/testing), but as I have tested my build (and patches) for a couple of days under Cauldron, I’ll still keep it here. (It should get obsoleted as long as newer official packages are available.)
The repository is here (32-bit only): mageia.beranger.org/mageia/2/repoview/
It can be installed with:
 urpmi.addmedia Beranger <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/mageia/2/RPMS/i586/">http://mageia.beranger.org/mageia/2/RPMS/i586/</A>
Summary of the contents with versions at the time of the launching:
-- Applications:
* calibre-0.8.6 : complete e-library solution — screenshot (testing fr_FR.UTF8):
    <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/images/calibre.png">http://mageia.beranger.org/images/calibre.png</A>
  Added as a dependency (needed for e-mail capabilities):
    python-dnspython-1.9.4
* gnaural-1.0.20110606 : a binaural-beat generator
* speedcrunch-0.10.1 : my favorite calculator.
-- Small Games:
* belooted-0.1.4 : the one and only Belote application — screenshot:
    <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/images/belooted.png">http://mageia.beranger.org/images/belooted.png</A>
* gnome-hearts-0.3 : obviously, playing the card game of Hearts.
* gnome-mastermind-0.3.1 : a funny Mastermind, usually not present in any distro — screenshot:
    <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/images/gnome-mastermind.png">http://mageia.beranger.org/images/gnome-mastermind.png</A>
* pushover-0.0.3 : the fabulous MS-DOS puzzle, now on Linux! — screenshot:
    <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/images/pushover.png">http://mageia.beranger.org/images/pushover.png</A>
* pychess-0.10 : because I like it more than any other Linux chess application.
* pytraffic-2.5.4 : an excellent puzzle based on Rush Hour — screenshot:
    <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/images/pytraffic.png">http://mageia.beranger.org/images/pytraffic.png</A>
* quarry-0.2.0 : multi-purpose GUI for several board games, notably for GNU Go, which should be added as “gnugo —mode gtp” — screenshot:
    <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/images/quarry-gnugo.png">http://mageia.beranger.org/images/quarry-gnugo.png</A>
-- Small Tools:
* gnome-specimen-0.4 : allows you to compare visually several typefaces at once — screenshot:
    <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/images/gnome-specimen.png">http://mageia.beranger.org/images/gnome-specimen.png</A>
* repoview-0.6.5 — builds web interfaces like the one used for this repo.
  Added as a dependency:
    python-kid-0.9.6.
Just for the sake of it, the packages are (hopefully!) signed with an old GPG key (the declared e-mail is no longer valid):
    <A HREF="http://mageia.beranger.org/mageia/RPM-GPG-KEY-odiecolon">http://mageia.beranger.org/mageia/RPM-GPG-KEY-odiecolon</A>
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
Now, is there any chance that:
(i) some if not all of these packages be approved for inclusion in Mageia?
(ii) myself be accepted as a contributor / package maintainer for Mandriva?
What should I do?
Oh, of course, some people should test these packages, and some other people should inspect the .spec files and patches....
Thanks,
R-C aka Beranger (with an acute accent on e)
