hi guys,

beg your pardon for the disturbing and deepest apologizes if i miss the
existing official statements already published (if any).

assume that following guidelines are a base for the subj:
http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/Release
http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/ReleaseSchedule

wish to have the detailed list of packages for our release of E-DR-17.
this e-mail also seeks other "Enlightenment" packagers to set the common
packaging rules and provide similar builds for the Users. this could
help us to trace various issues (if any) and provide "E" as it should be
(instead of "it goes like it is").

as a maintainer of E-svn current repo glad to list some patches we
offer to the Users (openSUSE):

* replacement (in sources before compilation) all Vera fonts to DejaVu 
(this solves all issues with UTF-8 "native" locales)

* global update of the repo (all packages are build from a single E-svn
revision source)

* proper configuration of a "places" module (only for SOAD users as this
action break default security presets of openSUSE)

and so on. also we're not providing (yet) the support for DirectFB
engine and the content of our repo definitely could be improved:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dmitry_serpokryl:/Enlightenment-cvs-core-metapackage/openSUSE_11.1/

wish to have some "standards" for "E" packages like:

1) list of a "must have" packages (quantity really doesn't matter much)

2) list of a "features to be supported" (here goes "quality" - like
support of the following image formats: blah-blah..., following "engines", 
"modules" and so on)

3) proper indication of E-svn revisions to be build in our repos (as it
proposed by k-s)

4) any other suggestions from E-devs

just as an option (in doubt that it'd be a benefit but...):
after each update/upgrade i can easily prepare a kind of "development"
system images (LiveCD + USB) packed with dev tools (list your favorites
here please) and not stripped binaries + devel headers. 

regards,
sda
