If the answer +</I>><i> is no, I would be very grateful if you could update your maintainer status +</I>><i> before next packager meeting. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - are there some packages you would have wanted to help to maintain within +</I>><i> a group of maintainers, but for which you are not ready to put your name +</I>><i> alone ? Can you name a few examples ? +</I>><i> +</I> +I would like to help to maintain these package groups: +Gnome, Gtk (non-gnome-specific), system tools (drak* and associated). + +Other package groups I can see are KDE, kernel and drivers, perl, fonts, +and language packs (maybe combined with spell checkers). + Depending of course on the interests of other packagers. +We should decide some rules as to how to well define a group and the +packages it contains. +To implement groups, we need to be able to support multiple maintainers +for groups. No reason why that couldn't support multiple maintainers +for individual packages as well. +We could even have groups such as Libreoffice or Firefox, including all +packages associated with the application. + +><i> - do you have comments about the package adoption campaign, or suggestions ? +</I>><i> +</I> +Excellent campaign.

I might try doing that :) +Since I'm not (yet) a packager, I load maintdb.txt into Libreoffice and +use some macros to give me a list of (maintained and) unmaintained +packages, as well as the count by maintainer. +I'm also using that to select packages I want to maintain. +If anyone is interested (particularly apprentices?), I could make a +version for you. +Just tell me what you want. + +><i> Best regards +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Samuel Verschelde +</I>><i> +</I> +Regards :) + +-- +André + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="008519.html">[Mageia-dev] PLEASE READ.
