So how to get started ?
-----------------------
Well, there are several things you can already do.
First, I suggest you to join #mageia-mentoring so that you can ask any
question you’d like to people who are already packagers. Don’t hesitate
to ask anything, there’s no stupid question. If you don’t get an
immediate answer, don’t hesitate to ping us
Ok, then here we go, you asked for it...
What's this #mageia-mentoring, IRC stuff? Is there a mentoring mailing
list instead, like on gmane or so?
I am a complete incompetent in terms of packaging, but I know how to
download a source.tar.gz and compile it the right way.
Under mandriva I am using a lot of scientific libs, like fftw, lapack,
blas, and fvwm2 is my computing life; that I used to compile from
sources too.
So I am happy to help in any of those if my contribution can be used
somehow. I am quite unreliable too in terms of freetime as it may happen
that I am becoming very busy sometimes.
cheers,
Chris.
