Hi,
You might remember me - I'm the one who wrote a sketchy implementation
of the then-discussed "Berlin Packaging API" about two years ago [1]. I
have shifted my focus to other things since then, but since recently
have more time again and my interest on the topic has been sparked again.
Now I am trying to gather what has happened since then. If I haven't
missed anything, there was not that much to be missed. The packaging
list archives seem to be effectively dead. The only thing I found was
thoughts about uplifting to RPMv4 sprinkled around some LSB Wiki pages,
for instance the LSB 4.1 Project Plan [2].
Now, because I remembered you, Jeff Johnson, to be very constructive,
honest and generally helpful in criticizing my proposal (and always
entertaining) and were very much involved in the whole discussion, I
would like to ask you: what is the state of discussion regarding LSB
packaging? Do you know about any progress on this front since, say, the
end of 2008? Any hints would be very valuable for me, as I am seriously
thinking about a second (maybe more coordinated, complete and
consensus-reaching) attempt at working on a new LSB packaging proposal..
Best regards,
Denis Washington
