Hi,
I'm the maintainer of Slamd64 Linux, one of the ports of Slackware to
x86_64; I believe that it would be beneficial if we could co-operate
more.
There's several things I'd like to propose:
1) An IRC channel (eg #slackport on freenode) primarily for maintainers
of the different distributions
2) A mailing list, also for the maintainers
3) Ideally, I'd like to see all of our maketag/tagfiles/buildscripts in
1 shared subversion (or similar) repository, and rather than independently
maintaining these build scripts, collaborating on making one
.SlackBuild per package that works on Slackware, Slack/390, and x86_64
(both multilib and pure64). I know this is definately feasable for
Slackware and the two x86_64 targets.
4) Some standard on package naming; in particular, I'm aware of 3
distributions for x86_64, all creating packages of the form
$NAME-$VERSION-x86_64-$BUILD.tgz ; I'd like to change this. I believe
that $NAME-$VERSION-x86_64_{multilib,pure64}-BUILD.tgz should be
sufficient.
What are your opinons?
Regards,
