- I grab mysql and httpd - I do as i see fit - contributions to httpd (which happen), will have to ask me before doing it. - since i only wanted to help, i may do a bad job of maintaining it, ie: not enough fixes, don't respond to others who want to patch httpd, etc... - perhaps i only care about stable and don't do anything on cauldron - i could change apache layout for cauldron to debian-style, which i think is better. etc... Personally, i think it's better that it gets done properly. having such a big responsibility is a pretty big point... but otoh, i don't have a better idea... Regards, AL13N PS: as a side note, devs of /soft stuff should also be their packagers and maintainers; it seems so weird that eg: mgaonline doesn't have a maintainer? when it's arguably the most visible package of mageia itself? (as an example, i wrote urpmi-proxy and plasma-applet-launchbutton and i am listed as maintainer for it as well) PPS: or perhaps a dev team should be formed and that team leader could be listed as maintainer of all dev packages that are now in nobody. and the people working on packages in /soft could be in the dev team...
