Re: Packages that still needs a maintainer
2008/7/28 David Timms <dtimms(a)iinet.net.au>:
On http://rpmfusion.org/InitialPackageMerge, seems the following
haven't
been claimed:
====
[...]
I put a [+] next to packages I'm interested in maintaining. As a
fedora
sponsored maintainer, but having no completed reviews in rpmfusion, am I
eligible to claim ?
Yes.
If yes, then I'll start with mpgtx and normalize - and put my
name in the
above web page. I'm just not sure whether I'm going about it the correct way
?
That is correct. Start by writing your name on the packages you claim
on that page. Then ask Xavier for CVS access.
For example, should I import the existing livna-devel package {ie a
known
entity}, or check to see whether upstream has newer releases, and work to
get the newer package going ?
If the package was in both Livna and Freshrpms you should merge them.
That is take features from both (where possible) and provide a clean
upgrade path from both.
Moreover, you should normally provide the latest version upstream has
released. Rules are the same that you find in Fedora for updates.
I can also add entries for the other ex dribble packages if that
would be
useful {and I'm interested in nes_ntsc & fuse-emulator-roms } ?
Fuse-emulator-roms has already been taken.
You can get nes_ntsc and the other *_ntsc's, if you want :)
Bye,
Andrea.
