Hi all, Looking at: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33

There are quite a few new packages which are waiting to have CVS / git repos created for them and for them to be imported / added to the repos. I know that with the new infra this process is currently on hold, but we are getting quite a big backlog of these, and I'm afraid that not dealing with these in a timely manner will scare of new contributors. So I wonder if it would be possible to have a temporary process to be able to process these while we're migrating to the new infra ? Thanks & Regards, Hans

I'm not saying it is  a waste of time, otherwise I would not be participating in this myself :)  What I'm saying is that it would be good to unfreeze the CVS admin process, and actually add new pkgs, getting a pkg through review and then not having it show up the repo is just going to frustrate (new) contributors, and is not going to motivate them to contribute more, were as actually having the pkg show up in the repo will motivate people.

But IMHO we should first unfreeze then CVS-admin process. Poking people to get to work on these only to have things grind to a halt as soon as the review passes is not helpful.

Right, I would really prefer to have new packages setup to the new pkgs, as right now the virtual machine is made as EL7 and FAS interconnection should be fixed. It should be really easier to setup. Of course anyone can help with trying to clean-up the ansible infrastructure roles so they can be re-usable... Unfortunately right now I'm still busy and hope to have more time in the early beginning of the year. Thx ps: I'm currently working on a package push...
