I like the idea. I think part of the soluition is the build service coming soon. I think MySQL AB with the various products is a good example. They have internal source tree's and external. Whether they are BK(Bit Keeper) or svn. I am able to download and keep all the tree's locallly. I then get a pack and post it to the internals list or to the appporiate group/list. I have signed a form giving MySQL AB joint ownership of the code for them to do with as they like sometimes they change the patches sometime they take them as is. I would like something similar for All the SUSE Distribution. I think that is what will happend with the build service. All the source will be available to the build service and we can make/post fixes there. Then SUSE/Novell are free to take those changes and do with them as they like. I would like a public tree like public CVS access to freely down load all source and submit patches. I know with the 10.1 new accounts are held up. I asked for one back in January and I am still waiting. I would like to get on and fix a few of the bugs that really bother me. I like the opensuse-commits list. It is very interesting to follow. I sometimes wish there were more details. It is a very good start.
