Thanks a lot Ian,
I think dribble will be the first to merge in next couple of days, as we
have a clean frozen version of packages set.
Hans give a signal for cvssync.
Xavier,
We (Dribble) don't have a CVS, given the low package count and churn we've
always been passing Ian srpms to build.
So in order to get dribble's packages into rpmfusion cvs / look a side, someone
would need to go to:
http://dribble.org.uk/listrpms4.html
Create cvs modules for all srpms listed there and then use cvs-import on the
srpms linked from there to populate the cvs modules.
Owners for the modules can be found here:
http://rpmfusion.org/InitialPackageMerge
But I guess all owners first need to have a FAS account, so maybe now would be
a good moment to send a mail to the list asking everyone to create a FAS account?
Hmm, I just realized that creating cvs modules isn't that easy because we first
need to decide on a package for package base wether it goes to non-free or free.
So what are the rules for free? I would like to suggest the following:
"free: anything of which all components are under a license which is listed as
good on: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing
Notice that free fully follows this webpage except that chapter 6 "Software
Types" is ignored.
Notice that anything depending upon anything in non-free must be in non-free
itself."
Can everyone live with this? If we can agree this is the rule for the non-free
free split, then I can make a list of which packages in dribble should go where.
Regards,
Hans
