Well I certainly hope so, but the call for participation already started. It probably depends on how fast we get frab running and how well the pentabarf import works. > [forks] > > I hope we can find some common grounds during the developer meeting at > > the FroScon.

I hope to meet him at FroScon, but I heard he's going to be a dad. Technically it would be easy to merge, though. (He could simply fast-forward to my master branch. David did only a few commits this year and I merged them all.) It's really a question about how tightly he wants to control the code and the features and how much work he is still willing to put into frab. A common plugin system would help a lot, as we could keep a common core. This was discussed here: https://github.com/oneiros/frab/issues/10 But even then, I've got a lot of fixes in the core, which he would had to cherry pick. You can find a summary of my changes here: https://github.com/katastrophie/frab/wiki/NEWS I'll have to admit a lot of these originated from the necessity to make SIGINT12 happen. So if you're going to fork anyways, I'd definitely pick my fork. > Regarding froscon: will the frab developer meeting happen on saturday or > sunday (or both)? I'm still waiting for confirmation from the FroScon team. I asked them for a slot on Saturday. The idea of a developer meeting only occurred to me a few weeks ago. > It is :) I'll be happy to show our workflow+tools to you. great:) > Is there a mailinglist as well? No there isn't. I could get one on mail.koeln.ccc.de and we could collect mail addresses on the developer meeting. kind regards, mario _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
