Subject: [Mageia-dev] Queation on importing mdv2010.2 packages

Hi.
I am browsing trough the bugzilla, looking for what people want to have 
package, and I notice they are missing some packages that exists in mdv.
but i am unsure on what to do with the mkrel when importing mdv packages. Some 
of the packages may have, say "%mkrel 4".
Do I increase the mkrel, or should I reset it to 1 when importing and pushing 
to Cauldron?

yes you can. you will need an up to date parrot for this.
i don't have time nor the need / envy to maintain perl 6 stack, so

In my opinion, this is enough. (Note that I moved the last word up to the end 
of the previous line.)
If people really are interested in reading the features they can look at the 
projects homepage.

Everything from "Major features include:" and all "bullet points" should be 
dropped.

Since oxygen-gtk3 is only useful for KDE users, it should be suggested
by a KDE package, not in gtk+3.0, IMHO.

(The same for gtk+2.0 suggesting oxygen-gtk).

[Mageia-dev] Freeze push: drakx-installer-rescue

[Cazzaniga Sandro]

Can someone push it, please?
The old sources was removed (they were useless) and the spec was *a
little* cleaned for allow a commit.

- remove buildroot def
- remove Name, Version, Release from the top of spec
- remove clean buildroot at %install

thanks

They can also be certain when they write the email, then have a doubt after.
I think it is too steep to close an account directly after the holder's

[Mageia-dev] My account, and accounts which are left

[Cazzaniga Sandro]

Hi there,

First, I want to ask you to keep my account for two weeks. I'm sure the
fact of not having enough time for maintening two distributions, but I'm
not sure which distro of choice that I made.

In second, about the accounts "leaving", I think we should allow people
time to change their opinions, and so do not close their accounts directly.

What do you think?

Hi all,

I'm sorry to announce you that I'm leaving mageia for various reasons: I
haven't too many time, with my studies, my mandriva's contributions...
And I have too make a choice and my choice is Mandriva.

Good luck for mageia guys!

What do you mean by "commented"?

A thing like:

Re: [Mageia-dev] glib 1.2

[Cazzaniga Sandro]

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.

I'm okay for naming patches as you say. It's clean and clear, we

You're right.
I'm a Mandriva packager since March 2009. I maintain several types of
packages, and I've created some others packages for the community.
For example, I'm the maintainer for GNU Patch and GNU Tar.

If you want more information, please let me know.
