Like we providing Zekr (Quran study +</I>>><i> tool) and zemberek (Turkish spell-checking tool) on Mandriva Turkiye +</I>>><i> repository (MVT) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Just a not : I am against this form of packaging only for a group of people. +</I>><i> Anywhere in the world someone who wants to study a language, turkish for +</I>><i> xample, may need it. Currently we need to focus all our efforts in Mageias +</I>><i> official repositories and avoid as much as possible having too many +</I>><i> different repositories. Programs are usually not territory dependant. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> That's out of subject anyway, but I wanted to tell clearly my opinion on +</I>><i> this. Remember : Mageia takes back the same spirit of easy to use and +</I>><i> simplicity that comes form Mandriva and Mandrake. Fiddling with many extra +</I>><i> repositories is then what we do not want to hear about. This would even +</I>><i> force people to be members or to visit the website to add the repo and then +</I>><i> access te program they were looking for. So, that's just no to me. +</I>><i> _______________________________________________ +</I>><i> Mageia-discuss mailing list +</I>><i> <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">Mageia-discuss at mageia.org</A> +</I>><i> <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss</A> +</I>><i> +</I> +I'm not insisting on seperate repositories. Why we (as Mandriva +Turkiye) created that repository is some packages can not be accepted, +like zemberek (See: <A HREF="https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=46479">https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=46479</A>) +according to mdv packaging policies. And as you may know i am not a +well experienced, professional packager. As you can see, Michael +Scherer tried to show me the light but for a short time. There is no +assistance for third party packagers. Also, contributing to Mandriva +such a way was not well documented. + +Also you may noticed kde3 mvt packages on Mandriva Forum/Community +RPMS section. + +What i mean is that local communities are necessity, People want to +get help and assistance in their own language. Also, especially in +Turkey, Linux users unite around those Turkish communities. We are +either member or admin of nearly every linux related community forums +in Turkey. Thats the only way to edvertse linux and provide help in my +country. +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000248.html">[Mageia-discuss] UK user community? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000263.html">[Mageia-discuss] UK user community? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#249">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#249">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#249">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#249">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
