what is a "maintained" package? no maintainer, no commits since x months, not buildable? what if we move to packages being maintained by foo...@packages.mageia.org aliases? what are the rules to move a package from extra to core, and vice-versa? who can do it? will it be done automatically? will this imply a rebuild for the package? what are the dependency rules? can a core package depend on an extra package? or with a buildrequires? and, more importantly: what is the advantage? that is, what does that bring you, except more admin? sorry, consider me not impressed by this idea. or maybe it's just that i failed to see the benefits. please enlighten me. jérôme -- jque...@gmail.com
