Here is my proposed amendment with the pre/post paragraphs to indicate placement within current proposal. Wasn't really sure whether this was to be submitted by mail or simply edited into wiki page. -- amendment -- Any bug filed has the potential to trigger the creation of new policy. This would require list discussion and in some cases a vote if there is no clear consensus from that discussion. New policy will be implemented as a check within checkpkg. As part of this effort a group of volunteer subject matter experts will be established to support and maintain the release system. Membership in the group is open and the purpose is to establish a broad list of individuals who are best capable of supporting and improving the release system. This group will be subordinate to the board and responsible for seeing that packaging policy is properly enforced by the release system. In the event an unforeseen issue disrupts the release process they are empowered to manually augment the system to enable timely release of packages. Such intervention will be logged with the understanding that repeated manual intervention will require enhancements to the release system to accommodate routine exceptions. All items that fail checks in checkpkg may be overridden to allow package-local exceptions to policy when/where required. These overrides are visible in the package delivered to the system and the code repository. Additionally, they can be queried for in the package database. -- end -- _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
