Hi,

from my personal experience I can say that I got SVN access very quickly
after I offered taking over maintainership for php5 package.

After some months I suggested to split php into multiple packages
(for pecl modules) but I did not yet get svn acccess for this. Not even
a response to my requests.

I don't think so. I'm fine with submitting patches to the list. To speed up my
personal workflow I placed 'packages' on github so that I can send pull requests
to the list (git://github.com/mhei/openwrt-packages.git) in the near future
(but I'm still novice with git - learning by doing :-)

And yes, please stay hard giving commit access away to keep the
quality on the current high level.
And yes, tell me/flame me when I commit rubbish or send patches
which doesn't apply/are broken...

So to summarize: for me the main trouble is not how the workflow
is - I'll try to adapt myself - but I need feedback on the list as I've
only little time on IRC...

Is there already work done/docs about setting up buildbot slaves/
cronjobs for nightly builds... ? I feel that my CPU could do something
useful when I'm sleeping/at work :-)

My 2 cents, mhei
