Hello,<br>
<br>
I received recently a mail from Samuel Verschelde asking me to look<br>
again at the list of un-maintained packages in mageia (either<br>
<a href="http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/unmaintained.txt" target="_blank">http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/unmaintained.txt</a> or by mgarepo maintdb<br>
get | grep nobody). Thanks for the reminder !<br>
<br>
I was really surprised of what I found, and I'm pretty sure some people<br>
have not registered themselves as package maintainer correctly. I can't<br>
believe we could have a working distribution without people in charge<br>
of:<br>
attr<br>
basesystem<br>
bind<br>
bison<br>
busybox<br>
cpio<br>
curl<br>
cvs<br>
docbook-*<br>
dosfstools<br>
findutils<br>
flex<br>
gdb<br>
ghostscript<br>
grub<br>
gzip<br>
initscripts<br>
inn<br>
keychain<br>
less<br>
lilo<br>
locales<br>
logrotate<br>
lzma<br>
mageia-release<br>
man<br>
man-pages<br>
mkinitrd<br>
mt-st<br>
mtools<br>
ncurses<br>
netcat-traditional<br>
ntp<br>
openjade<br>
openssl<br>
openvpn<br>
pam<br>
parted<br>
passwd<br>
procmail<br>
sane<br>
sgml-common<br>
shorewall<br>
sqlite<br>
sudo<br>
sympa<br>
sysstat<br>
tcp_wrappers<br>
tcpdump<br>
tcsh<br>
termcap<br>
traceroute<br>
udev<br>
util-linux-ng<br>
xinetd<br>
xmodmap<br>
(And this is really a list of what looks to me mandatory, I'm sure each<br>
here will make its own, with differences).<br>
<br>
As much as I'm willing to maintain packages, I don't think I'm the<br>
most qualified to take some of these. However, a distro without them<br>
maintained has no future :-(<br>
<br>
So I guess there is something wrong here. Or are we so few that nobody<br>
want to take these ?<br>
<br>
I'm willing to contribute, already "own" 29 pkgs (but some of these<br>
because I thought I'd rather take them than leave unmaintained, even if<br>
surprised) but don't have that much time, nor expertise to add the full<br>
list !<br>
<br>
Any taker ?<br>
Greetings,<br>
Bruno.<br>
