On the right is +the current version of the proposal. + +The main changes are so far: + +- Remove Books/* -> everything in Documentation + * Reason: All books currently in Mageia are documentations of some + kind +- Add several Development/* to reduce Development/Other + * Reason Development/Other is cluttered with various programming + languages and development tools. +- Add Games/Shooter to reduce Games/Arcade and Games/Other +- Split Office into Office/Dictionary, Office/Finance, ... +- Split Sound into Sound/Editors and Convertors, Sound/Midi, ... +- Split Video into Video/Editors and Convertors, Video/Players, ... + +The last problems that I think need addressing are: + +1) Graphical Desktop/FVWM based contains only fvwm2: + * Should we leave it like this + * Or should we delete the group and move fvwm2 to Graphical +Desktop/Other ? + +2) Graphics has 441 packages currently: + * Should we leave it like this + * Or should we split it into + + Graphics/Editor + + Graphics/Convertors + + Graphics/Viewers + + Graphics/Other + * Or any other idea? + +3) System/Server has 1016 packages, from daemons to web, FTP, DNS, chat, +... servers, as well as Web applications. + * Should we leave it like this + * Or should we split the different Networking subgroups into + + Networking/*/Client + + Networking/*/Server + + Networking/*/Utilities + with maybe Networking/WWW/Browser instead of Client and + Networking/WWW/Web Applications + * Or any other idea? + +Please have a look at <A HREF="http://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:RPMGroupRevamp">http://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:RPMGroupRevamp</A> +and comment on the list (rather than directly modifying the wiki page). +Please also give your opinion about the 3 remaining issues above. If you +have any other issue with some other categories, just tell me. + +The goal is that rpmdrake and mageia App Db get easier to browse for +technical and non-technical users. I think that categories with more +than a few hundreds packages are too big (unless specifically addresses +to technical users, like Development/* or System/*). + +I hope we can discuss this proposal at the next packager meeting. + +Thanks, +-- +Malo +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="018748.html">[Mageia-dev] Update of the rpm group policy +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="018544.html">[Mageia-dev] Ruby 1.9 landing soon +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#18698">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#18698">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#18698">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#18698">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
