A bit different question: where is MeeGo Architecture Forum decision
about removing some packages ?
there is no decision to delete packages like this, and I'm pretty sure
there
won't be one;
I for sure will be against it... esp for packages that have no serious
maintenance burden.
Well, it's not question of who for or against removal.
My point was that all packages that we have in MeeGo should have clear
owner/maintainer and clear understanding and description where this
package fits to architecture of MeeGo. So any addition or removal of
packages should go trough process of FEA# and reviewal of Business
people and Architects Forum to give a decision either this package
present or not present in MeeGo. It shouldn't be anarchy of adding or
removing packages.
agreed.
I would also like to point out that I consider this a point for adding a
package to an image,
more than having a package in OBS at all.
For the later we should be *much* more liberal in having packages than we
should be for the former!
Having package in OBS, means package has owner/maintainer. We have
many package which doesn't have clear owner and clear idea why it's
present.
Due to that, we might have accidents when some other applications
would be linked against not-so-maintained libraries. Or spontaneous
upgrades of such not-so-maintained packages where nobody would be able
to say why this upgrade was happen. Also, in case of not maintained
packages, in case of build breaks - who going to look at those ? Plus,
if it's not maintained and not used in images - what's the point of
keeping it in OBS and on all mirrors ?
the point generally is that human developers are actually USING these
things.
not everything like that is in a group, and neither should it.
but developers should be able to do experimental things without having
to go through miles of red tape due to lacking
basic stuff.
openCV is such a case. It's a generally useful library for image
processing/recognition.. and I would rather encourage rather
than discourage developers to experiment with such fancy things.
overzelous removal of things just is completely going to kill innovation
and a bad idea.
