Wouldn't it be an idea to create a wiki page with some kind of table, listing the masters and their padawans?

[Mageia-dev] packages importing: what replaces rpm-mandriva-setup-build
hi, perl does: BuildRequires: rpm-mandriva-setup-build = 1.8 what should it be translated to? rpm-mageia-setup-build? or nothing at all, since we'll have the latest greatest version? :-) thanks, jérôme -- jque...@gmail.com

[Mageia-dev] Importing Perl policy
Hi there, I just imported the perl packaging policy in the wiki, could someone review it please ? It’s located there: http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=perl_policy The main changes are related to Mandriva - Mageia. I’ve got a few questions about this. 1) Will the first release be Mageia 2010.1 ? perl-devel unconditionaly for native packages, and only before Mageia 2010.1 for pure perl packages if using ExtUtils::MakeMaker Is this statement still valid today ? (in the original page, Mandrake 10.0 was mentioned, but I did not want to remove it unless I am 100% sure this is not used anymore. 2) About the tools, will we have a CPANPLUS-Dist-Mga backend, or will we reuse the CPANPLUS-Dist-Mdv ?

[Mageia-dev] Importing Licensing Policy
Hello, I just started to import the Licensing policy from the Mandriva wiki. Here are notable changes: - replacing Mandriva with Mageia - adapting the page to the Mageia mirror structure - in the mandriva page (which is outdated on that point) there was a mention about a contact, which is Adam Williamson on the mandriva wiki. Who would be in charge of the points mentionned in the first paragraph of the licensing guidelines ? Shall we just keep the mageia-dev mailing list as a contact ? - no mention of restricted repositories at the moment - subsequently, no package eligible for the “Proprietary” license - adding a complete list of license names (produced by rpmlint) Thanks in advance for reviewing this policy Best regards, -- Rémy CLOUARD () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments pgpD5qkfXLz3q.pgp Description: PGP signature

I plan on start dropping what's redundant once rpm 5.3.7 hits main/release in cooker). I plan on reviewing all of it and merge/replace what's appropriate in a generic way upstream, eventually phasing out these and other packages that carries local macros, helper scripts etc. required for building rpm packages in the distribution. The goal of doing so is to try standardize functionality, practices, policies etc. used for building packages upstream and clean up our packaging to make it easier and less messy to maintain (ie. one example is disttag distepoch replacing our own %mkrel, and also moved out of the individual spec files).. I don't know much about your plans are for what direction to choose for rpm (my bias is rather obvious, but refactorization maintenance is rathed rather high on my priority list, making me tout rpm5;), but I don't mind try adapting if going in a different direction or putting any decission on hold; if you're interested in sharing maintenance efforts rather than forking these things completely and maintain on your own, it's not very painful for me to make changes conditional rather than dropping what's no longer in use.. For any new features implemented and adopted, you'll have to cherry-pick and port yourself to stay compatible, I'm too comfortable with not having to relate to two different APIs and codebases anymore now (if interested, I could help assist you on writing something equivalent for compatibility wrapping similar to what I did in the past with rpm4compat.h rpm46compat.h to make ie. URPM able to use rpm 4.4 4.6 api with rpm5, let's say rpm5compat.h or something). Whatever you end up doing, don't be afraid of asking or trying to communicate on, the mutual benefits of collaboration are rather obvious. ;o) If not, sorry for imposing. -- Regards, Per Øyviind
