Hello!
What do you think of marking packages on which we (or our apprentices)
are working?
I've experienced that when we are working on a package - even if it is
noticed on Bugzilla, Mageia-Dev or elsewhere - someone may simply
check-out the package, bump version or make some changes (resolve a
bug), check-in. We know that making changes in a long spec, may take
days or even month (a lot of sources, large installation-tree, patches
to review, consulting upstream etc), and rapid changes can do nothing good.
Today I talked on it, how to prevent a package from being localized by
someone and simply bumped without asking.
So what do you think on marking packages that are underdevelopment?
I think it's good to just simply mark it in the 1st line of a svn-spec:
"# (name) date message", e.g. "# (john) 2011.12.20 please don't touch
this package, I'm working on it right now, it may take a few weeks" or
"# (john) 2011.08.23 don't update the version, it won't match current KDE".
There is already a list of sensitive packages here
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Sensitive_packages maybe just it is
sufficient for 10,000 packages distribution?
