Sure, this is from the Suggestions page on the wiki: # Packages in tiers. [bonivart] We should classify each package in a tier according to how common/critical/important it is. Tier 1 should be the packages that most will install and are likely to be critical on those systems, examples can be Apache2, Bind, MySQL, OpenSSL and Sendmail. Tier 2 should be packages similar to tier 1 but maybe not as common and/or critical, one example might be Perl. Tier 3 is the rest. * I envision tier 1 to be around 25 packages, tier 2 around 100 and tier 3 the rest. * Tier 1 packages must always be actively maintained, possibly by more than one maintainer for quick responses to security updates and bug reports. All tier 1 packages must be in GAR. * Tier 2 packages should be actively maintained by maintainers who use their own packages on a daily basis. Packages should be in GAR. * Tier 3 has no special requirements. -- /peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
