Hi Pascal,

while I share your thoughts I'd like to say something about the topic
regadring packaging ...

Obviously I started to create Webmin/Usermin-Packages for openSUSE some time
ago, but I stopped developing because it is still too complex for me.

Speaking for the developer of Webmin/Usermin (Jamie Cameron) directly I
really would like to see Webmin/Usermin getting back into the distribution,
but again it's too complex.

So why it is too complex for me?

I should guess that there is no need for gcc'ing something, because it is
just a set of perl scripts to untar, then to sed/awk some stuff and to pack
into a rpm. But this is not completely the core.

The problem is documentaion which is too complex for me to understand, there
is no easy one (or at least I do not find it). I should reach for
opensuse-packaging to discuss the details I know, but what I really would
like to see is something easy to use because I do not have the time to read
into complex things. At least there is no good german advisory available.

On will I could whitepaper my thoughts a bit more.


bis dahin / kind regards
