Hi All,

Just a quick note to those who it concerns that Dribble is now frozen

and

no new updates or packages will be permitted there. Most contributors

are

migrating their packages to RPM Fusion, including most of mine. Thanks

very

much and I wish RPM Fusion the best of luck.

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.

Hi !
I agree from this. I just want to notice that "-nonfree" expects at
least the package to be redistributable.

Agree, rules for non-free:
"non-free: the package must be redistributable"

I don't expect dribble have such packages. But amr{nb,wb} codecs are
( altought opensource - we even cannot retristribute the sources).
For such cases i guess it would be desirable to have nosrc.rpm in the
SRPMS non-free section.

But how would those then get build? I would prefer normal src.rpm's, which then do a wget of the sources during the build, so the .src.rpm will most likely only contain an .spec file, .nosrc.rpm's where the pieces have to be pieced together manually before building, are no good, as we want all packages to be automatically buildable from cvs + lookaside by plague.

Also all packages that can go to Fedora shouldn't be allowed in RPM Fusion.
( I have submitted some perl package freshrpms use for dvdrip at least)

Yes anything which can go to Fedora should be in Fedora, see my simcoupe work of late for example.
