As we said during our first meeting, the idea is to avoid +</I>><i> NIH syndrome and reuse what already exists. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Here is a list of some of Mandriva policies for review. I tried to +</I>><i> organize them in sections, some of them might be rather incomplete, or +</I>><i> outdated. Please announce which subsection you’re going to proofread, +</I>><i> that will allow us to get through them faster (2 or 3 people max per +</I>><i> page should be good) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> As for the process, I would be in favor of creating one thread per +</I>><i> policy review, because that could help people having knowledge in some +</I>><i> area to sort out these mails and reply to them specifically. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Some of these policies have already been discussed in previous threads, +</I>><i> in that case we shouldn’t create a new one. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> New packagers might want to take a look at some of these policies +</I>><i> too, it will help you getting faster on par with the prerequisites to +</I>><i> become a packager too. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> WARNING, long list coming. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Licenses +</I>><i> - Licensing policy +</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Licensing_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Licensing_policy</A> -> this policy will have +</I>><i> to be reviewed to match our mirroring layout, otherwise, it should +</I>><i> also include allowed licenses (those can be retrieved with rpmlint -i) +</I>><i> - Mandriva Linux Valid Licenses +</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_Linux_Valid_Licenses">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_Linux_Valid_Licenses</A> -> seems +</I>><i> outdated +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Common Packaging Practices +</I>><i> - RPM Groups +</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/GroupTag">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/GroupTag</A> +</I>><i> -> there has been some discussions this evening about having more +</I>><i> fine-grained groups.
