-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been thinking of this quite a while and I thought that I should mention this idea to others now:)
what about a new unstable/incomplete/broken/immature/whatever repository for packages we really have'nt put any work in, or maybe the software is immature, or we have'nt really finished the package yet? eg. I have a few packages lying around here that I never got to play much around with, or never really completed and therefore never uploaded to contrib. a few cases: a package has'nt been maintained for a while, it might not compile anymore, or maybe it just does'nt work for other reasons, move this one into the new repository the software is'nt really mature, eg. like buchan said he had packaged slicker a while back, but did'nt feel like it was mature enough to be uploaded to contrib, put this one into the new repository so other people might get it, test it and help improve this one for contrib in the future you've started on a package that needs a little more work than usual to be completed and you never got to finish it, put this one into the new repository so other people might continue on your work and benefit from your ideas you made a package in a hurry, but is'nt able to test it yourself for some reason, put in the new repository so people can test it before it goes into contrib. packages submitted by "untrusted" people, eg. people who have uploaded their stuff to ftp.linux-mandrake.com and the quality of the package really is'nt good enough for lenny to upload it, he could put it there if he did'nt feel like fixing it himself for the moment, also maybe the /incoming folder and mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] could be made available to other contributors.. well, that was just a few of my ideas for this repository, I gotta go now:) - -- Regards, Per �yvind Karlsen Sintrax Solutions http://www.sintrax.net - +47 41681061 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+iIwSv8F7V9JOSuURAhq7AJ9aAvF8Of+DWT58bHHDpVonqYae/wCfZ/m1 WxAcD6Uh9jU73KrPY5mf80Q= =RBOc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
