Packaging request could be located in a different ideatorrent subdomain. ---------------------------------------- > Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:28:48 -0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > CC: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Brainstorm-moderators] Using Brainstorm for packaging requests > > I agree with RainCT that brainstorm might be a very interesting way to > measure how many people are interested by new packages. > > However, IMO, Launchpad is still the right place to consider packaging > requests because it also needs to be reviewed for many reasons : > - dependencies and libraries > - stability > - maintainability > - state of upstream project (active? abandoned? too young? about to > change?) > > This needs to be done by packagers and developers, and a bug report is > designed to work around these elements. > > Brainstorm moderation rules could perhaps be updated so packaging > requests don't get closed in the future, but I think that it's still > always necessary to have a launchpad bug report for each packaging > request.
