<PRE>Dear packagers,
Tonight, following the packagers meeting, we agreed on a new RPM group
policy.
The current policy is described at:
<A HREF="http://wiki.mageia.org/en/RPM_groups_policy">http://wiki.mageia.org/en/RPM_groups_policy</A>
The new policy is presented at:
<A HREF="http://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:RPMGroupRevamp">http://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:RPMGroupRevamp</A>
This change in policy means that I will take the following actions by
the end of the week:
* update the wikipage <A HREF="http://wiki.mageia.org/en/RPM_groups_policy">http://wiki.mageia.org/en/RPM_groups_policy</A>
* patch rpmlint to refuse new packages that do not follow the new
policy (I will send another email to -dev just before submitting
the new rpmlint).
* create a bug report tracking the packages that need to change group.
* mail -dev about the packages that are currently in wrong groups
(even with respect to the current policy) so that their maintainers
can take proper action within 2 weeks. After that, I will change
the groups myself
* mail -dev about the packages that are correct with respect to
current policy but need to be updated to respect the new policy.
For these packages, the deadline will be beta1 (12/12) to complete
the changes, which means that I will start doing the moves by
myself by Alpha 3 (06/11).
I will mail -dev at each step on the way, so don't worry too much now.
I hope the new RPM groups will make it easier for everyone to find
packages in rpmdrake and other tools. It will be a bit annoying for
every packager, but it's a good opportunity to revisit many package
specs before mga3 and make Mageia better.
Cheers,
--
Malo
