Hello, > so, if someone is looking for a mentor, now is the time to speak...
I'm looking for a mentor :-) > - people with packaging experience (this way, we can increase the > packagers pool faster) I have some packaging experience. I created my first rpm package about ten years ago, and created a few since then. I guess I can say I'm comfortable with the packaging process with the exception of the rules specific to each distribution. In other words, I packaged stuff for my own use, without following any guidelines with regard to versioning, naming, etc. The mentoring I need most would be what is appropriate to do in a Mageia package, like where to put documentation (for example some docs go with a lib package, some others go in the devel package), how to use modern macros (I've seen a "dist" macro recently for example in a Fedora package), etc. > - people not too far from my timezone (i'm in lyon, france, met) I'm in France too. I'm mostly interested in packaging new software. I often find myself wanting to test something, say a jackd-enabled application, and can't find it in the repository. Or some miscellaneous devel packages. But I'm willing to take over some unmaintained packages too. Let me know. Johnny
