hi Samuel, these are my last 2 mockups about mageia-app-db project. i've added mageia- discuss and mageia-dev in the CC list so anyone can share his opinion about these mockups, giving us comments and ideas that can improve the tool. please, tell me what do you think about it homepage: http://img209.imageshack.us/i/mageiafindouthomepage.jpg/ browsing page: http://img696.imageshack.us/i/mageiafindoutbrowsingpa.jpg/ cheers, Marcello PS= i've noticed 0.1 release is ready, is it time for a blog post?

Re: [Mageia-dev] Dev Team Call To Action...
I posted this message a while back, but never received a response,.. We, LinuxCabal, have our servers at CloudSigma in Switzerland. I was writing to them yesterday and mentioned that Mageia was a fork of Mandriva and that the Mageia team might benefit from server space as follows: As you may know, Mandriva is in a state of flux due to financial considerations and may cease to exist. As such, Mageia has forked out by the original developers of Mandrake/Mandriva and has gathered most of the original developers on the new team. As such they are looking for places where they can set up their CVS servers as well as mirror sights to host the distribution, the first version of which is due in June. I have managed a local copy of the Mandriva Distribution here at LinuxCabal for years which our users can access from our local internal net to install and to update from during our weekly Install Fests. Each version uses about 100G of disk space. I mention this to see if Cloud Sigma would want to host a site for them. I think that it would possibly be a great source of promotional advertising for you. If you are interested, I can put you in contact with the correct people at Mageia or LinuxCabal can actually manage the sight with little or no change to our present configuration. They responded as follows: In terms of Mageia, I think this sounds like an interested opportunity and possibility to collaborate. Please feel free to put them in touch with me in order to see how we might assist them. This came from Robert Jenkins whose email is rob...@cloudsigma.com Robert is in a position to donate server space. Their service has been been excellent.

[Mageia-dev] glib 1.2
Hi, During a discussion on IRC, I realized that glib 1.2 had been imported in the svn repository http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/glib/ This library has been obsolete for years now, and I'm not sure at all there is any "interesting" app still needing it. I'd really recommend trying hard to keep glib 1.2 away from the repository to avoid having really old and obsolete packages that noone will use anyway. This would probably save some maintainance time to some people. Cheers, Christophe

Re: [Mageia-dev] glib 1.2
Le 07/02/2011 00:11, Christophe Fergeau a écrit : During a discussion on IRC, I realized that glib 1.2 had been imported in the svn repositoryhttp://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/glib/ This library has been obsolete for years now, and I'm not sure at all there is any "interesting" app still needing it. I'd really recommend trying hard to keep glib 1.2 away from the repository to avoid having really old and obsolete packages that noone will use anyway. This would probably save some maintainance time to some people. I'm enterely agree with you, glib 1.2 is obsoletes and useless.
