Everyone can log-in with a bug-tracker of forum account. Note that
every fpc-version has it's own repository. And that there are two
flavours: testing and production. Everyone can add packages to
testing. For now adding to production is only possible for
administrators.
Does this mean that every forum user can post fpc packages? Will there
be a review? I guess we will drown in garbage. Forum users, don't
misunderstand me, I am not saying that you are posting poor software in
general, but we've had some evil-minded guys out there in the forum.
Sorry I am thinking of the worst: will there be access rights so that a
poster can only modify his own packages? (CCR for example does not have
them - we're lucky that nobody has abused it so far, but here not every
forum user has access).
As you can see here: https://fppkg.cnoc.nl/documentation there are some
regulations.
When things get out of control, we can change them.
For now: if you add a new package, no-one can see it and no-one can
download it until a manager (atm: that's me) approves it.
Once approved, the maintainer (or admin) of the package can change it at
will. And the changes will become available in the test-repository.
(not instantly, atm this is a manual step from the administrator. But it
might get automated for the testing-repository in the future) This also
means that the package will be available to all users that adapt their
fppkg-configuration to use the test-repository. (They might do that, for
example, to test their own packages)
And once again, only administrators can add packages to the production
repository.
Also note that the system does a test-build of packages. For now only a
x86_64-linux, but when people start really using it, I can invest some
time and add some other platforms.
Regards,
Joost.
