Cool - I think I got the wrong end of the stick and thought work was being done to the packages themselves, rather than the debian packaging bit. So that all sounds fine, sorry for jumping to conclusions! I imagine we'll need to have a discussion about moving the mercurial repo for it up into the Illumos infrastructure, along with the documentation. One of the things I like about hg.openindiana.org is that we've got hgweb set up, (and we've got nice ACLs set up to control who can commit to what, but maybe hg.illumos.org has that too). It'd be helpful if hgweb could be set up on the Illumos hg infrastructure, but not too essential since OI can mirror it. I guess we'll need to have a chat about the review process/policies/etc, hopefully the ones we outlined here are a good starting point: http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+with+oi-build http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Contribution+Process http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Commit+Process We might also want a separate mailing list for it so the illumos developers list is kept on the topic of illumos-gate. Also I guess a discussion needs to be had about naming - my suggestion would be illumos-userland. Boring, yet descriptive :-) Cheers, Alasdair ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
