Which, as Arjan suggested, is EXACTLY what a community based project is supposed to have, "inflowing packages people are submitting without asking anyone". If/when we get there, I'd call that a measure of success. <tangent> This might not be such a problem if the community OBS would get it's act together and start accepting SR's to Extras (or Surrounds, or *any* non-home project). I've got a package I submitted to Extras 3 weeks ago now[1] yet it's still sitting there with no action and no visibility as to what the hold up is, or how much longer it will sit there :/ It's beginning to feel alot like the Apple AppStore submission process, a black hole. </tangent> Shane... _______________________________________________ MeeGo-packaging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-packaging
