First of all, thank you to everyone for all your comments and interest! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Samuel Verschelde:
>Great, I really like it when user communities get involved directly in the >project rather than doing everything outside ! :) We are very glad in blogdrake to help a distribution with such good intentions as Mageia, so we wish all its success. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >José Jorge: >Good. And at first, I suggest you remove everything that is already in Mageia >repos as updates : smc, cegui, etc. >Keeping them will just add mess. All the programmes of my repository has been checked: - The packages are not in Cauldron. - They are updated to the latest version. - They have been checked the licences and written in file spec. - Installed and run (in Mageia 1). - Checked with rpmlint and cleaned file specs to verify the conditions of rpmlint. (Everything in Mageia 1, not in Cauldron yet) The result of this work is the following list: http://ftp.blogdrake.net/incoming/MGA/joaquin/mageia.txt Also with the directory of srpms: http://ftp.blogdrake.net/incoming/MGA/joaquin I've uploaded to BS already the first 2 programmes (flaw y fimount) with the help of my mentor Juan Luis Baptiste (aka Juancho) and we want to continue with this work. All your collaboration to get the final step, would be Welcome: - Try to pack all these packages in Cauldron - Upload to BS There are many packages and it is too much work for one person. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Philipe Didier >Just one thing to correct : your repos addresses are : >ftp://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia1/free/i586/ >ftp://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia1/free/x86_64/ Thanks! The right URL is the one you show. >First thing I must say : it's a very good idea to upload these packages >to the BS and join the packagers team instead of providing third party >repos that will soon create compatibility problems (as in the past for >Mandrake and Mandriva with Thac's or MIB or others) The main target of this repository is to have the major quantity of these Programmes in Mageia 2 and, in the meanwhile, to have a repository in which the users of Mageia can enjoy of a lot of programmes, wanting to use the distribution more and more. Frankly, I don't agree the policy of MIB. Even, MIB declared openly that it doesn't like Mageia (see the official website) I tried to avoid packing libraries (compatiblity problems), so I have just packed only the neccesary libraries to do some programmes work >The second thing is : before uploading them you will have to be careful >with the repos policy (core tainted non-free) >In your own repo, there is a problematic package : faac (and libfaac0 >libfaac-devel) which is both non-free and tainted ... >After long dicussions on the mailing list a meeting decision was not to >provide it at the moment (nor the packages built with it...) >If a non-free-&-tainted repo is created for Mageia2, in the future, it >will be then allowed ... wait and see ! Then I'm not going to upload any programme which use faac to BS, until a non-free-&-tainted repo is created for Mageia2 (audiokonverter y cinelerra will wait) ;-) I have a list of all the packages in which I show the license of each packages to avoid making mistakes with licenses: http://ftp.blogdrake.net/incoming/MGA/joaquin/mageia.txt Also with the directory of srpms: http://ftp.blogdrake.net/incoming/MGA/joaquin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >José Jorge: >hi, I am packaging games in mageia, so maybe I can help bring faster blogdrake >repos. Is there a way to say which packages I start working on? My friend GregoryBravas (admin from http://blogdrake.net) created a post with all the games in blogdrake repository. I think you should visit it before packing yourself, to avoid any extra-work! http://blogdrake.net/blog/bravas/juegos-para-mageia1-en-el-repositorio-de-blogdrake Also see the previous list: http://ftp.blogdrake.net/incoming/MGA/joaquin/mageia.txt In my blog you also can see the emulators (games) packed for Mageia: http://blogmageia.wordpress.com/ (The blue list on the right at the end) I take the advantage to thank Bravas for all his help packing all these games and much more programmes!! ;-) Best Regards, Joaquin
