Hi folks, since noone spoke up in response to http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/distributions/2008-March/000069.html, I think our two mailing lists will co-exist. I herewith would like to invite interested people to join vcs-pkg and would appreciate if you passed this mail around within your distro.
The aim of the vcs-pkg project is to investigate the use of version control for distro package maintenance. We bring together people interested in taking the next step in distro package maintenance: the proper integration of version control into the package maintenance workflow. Maintainers of a specific package in all distros basically have the same task. We could benefit from each other if we joined forces: less workload, improved access to patches in use by other distros, more structured communication, a wider spread of innovation, etc.. Why not approach the challenge together? Please circulate this email within your distribution or otherwise pass the word. If you are interested in vcs-pkg, please join our mailing list: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/vcs-pkg-discuss http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.package-management.vcs-pkg It would be nice if you introduced yourself with a short paragraph, letting us know about your distro involvement and (D)VCS experience. Also, you're welcome to come hang out in #vcs-pkg/irc.oftc.net, subscribe to and register your vcs-pkg-related blog feeds with http://vcs-pkg.org/planet/, and surf over to http://vcs-pkg.org/ for more information.
