I agree. I updated the process and added some package update procedures. Let me know what you think. http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/ContribRepo Now, I think all we need to do is define which metadata fields we want to use. These may be a good start: set name=pkg.name value="newpak" set name=pkg.description value="new package" set name=pkg.detailed_url value="http://sourceforge.net/newpak"; set name=maintainer value="open.dev at x.y" set name=upstream value="m set name=upstream_url value=http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/ set name=source_url value=http://www.rs/mc/mc-4.6.1.tar.gz set name=repository_url value=http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/mc/ set name=gui.classification value="FileManager ConsoleOnly Utility" license $HOME/COPYING license="GPLv2" set name="pkg.repo" value="pending" Could be used to define where the package is from. Cheers, Jim
