Re: Looking for a "release manager" for "RPM Fusions repos for EL & EPEL"

# CCed to epel-devel-list, as the audience there might be interested in # this mail as well; nevertheless please send replies to # rpmfusion-developers(a)lists.rpmfusion.org only, tia! Hi! As some of you may know: RPM Fusion ( http://rpmfusion.org/ ) not only supports Fedora, it also wants to support EL (e.g. RHEL and clones/derivatives like CentOS) & EPEL for EL >=5 similar to how RPM Fusion supports Fedora(¹), as a lot of people asked for such a repo. The testing repositories for this are online and filled with the most important RPM Fusion packages for quite a while now; see http://thorstenl.blogspot.com/2008/11/rpm-fusion-for-el-in-early-testing.... for details how to enable those repos. In the past weeks there hasn't been much progress to move the packages to the normal repos and to officially announce support for EL & EPEL. The main reason for that: We have quite a few packagers that are interested in having the most important RPM Fusion packages available in a RPM Fusion for EL & EPEL, but afaics nobody really wants to do the surrounding work that is needed. Hence RPM Fusions look for a volunteers (or maybe two) that act a bit as "Release-Engineers/-Managers" for RPM Fusion's EL repos. The position means a bit of work, but not to much if everything works well. And the latter (making sure everything works well) is basically the job description already; e.g. make sure the repo as a whole work is in healthy state and now and in the future makes users and contributors glad. That means things like:
