Please every packager read this mail, there's a call for feedback. An objective has been reached: there are more maintained non-perl packages than unmaintained packages ! - unmaintained: 2969 - maintained (non-perl): 3169 - maintained (perl): 2552
We are still far from a totally maintained distro, so the next objectives are: - find maintainers for core packages. - reduce the number of unmaintained packages to 2000 Right now, I need your feedback, from each packager individually, with an answer to the following questions: - did you grab all the packages you want and can maintain already ? (not a rhetorical question, this will help to know if there's still room for improvement or if the current campaign has reached a limit). If the answer is no, I would be very grateful if you could update your maintainer status before next packager meeting. - are there some packages you would have wanted to help to maintain within a group of maintainers, but for which you are not ready to put your name alone ? Can you name a few examples ? - do you have comments about the package adoption campaign, or suggestions ? Now, various tools: - flat list, automatically updated: http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/unmaintained.txt - same list, manually updated a few minutes ago, with the number of commits per packager for each unmaintained package: http://stormi.lautre.net/fichiers/mageia/unmaintained-per-committers.txt - (coming soon, from you if you want, or me later) a script that gives you the list of unmaintained packages that are installed on your system Best regards Samuel Verschelde
