Hi Currently, I'm using CSW packages on sparc a few hosts. Usually, I prefer using prebuild packages, but sometimes software in CSW catalog is outdated or miss some features. For such cases I've set up a build host where I can build packages from GAR. Now, I have some questions.
What catalog contain packages for regular use? Packages in stable are very old, mostly. Software in testing and unstable looks newer, but how stable it is? For example, subversion related packages mixes two version 1.6.16 and 1.6.15, which looks strange for me. While building packages with GAR, I sometime face bug in GAR or package. Usually, I'm fixing them by myself, because it is usually faster. I don't want to become a maintainer, because I can't spent time on CSW regularly, but I can send bug reports/patches from time to time. Is there a need in such contributions. What is the preferred way to send patches, bug reports. There is GAR trac at SF, Mantis at OpenCSW and several mailing lists. What should I use? Best regards, Andrey
