(Reposted in new thread, sorry) Dear packagers,
A lot of progress has happened on the RPM group move. Thanks a lot. However there is still a bit to do before the release happens. The main categories that need still to be changed are: Obsolete group | number of remaining packages Books/Computer books 2 Books/Howtos 2 Books/Other 26 Graphics 116 Office 86 Sound 104 Video 224 Total = 560 (which represents only 18% of the packages that had to change group: the 81% have already been dealt with. Yeah us!) For these 560 packages, it is mostly about sending them to the different subgroups mentioned in the policy: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/RPM_groups_policy#List_of_official_groups However, several hundreds of these packages have not been moved because they do not build. So it's the opportunity to look at the rebuild effort that pterjan started at http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/autobuild/ Last but not least, it has been reported that some of the groups were not adapted, therefore slowing down the movement, since no one knows where to put the packages. I'm taking notes about possible minor changes that could be implemented quickly (through simple scripting): - creation of Games/Simulation - Graphics/Editors renamed as Graphics/Editors and Converters - Graphics/Other renamed as Graphics/Utilities - Office/Other renamed as Office/Utilities - creation of Sound/Composition - removal of Sound/Visualisation - creation of Video/Television I think it's a bit too late to do that before Beta 2 (although since these changes do not affect anything but the presentation in rpmdrake, it's safe to do it at any time), but I wish to hear other possible suggestions (someone suggested to have a System/Sound for sound systems, like alsa or pulseaudio). Any remarks? Suggestions? Cheers, -- Malo
