It would be awesome if someone who understands about packaging could set up the wmaker package to be built on https://build.opensuse.org/ This service can build packages for multiple distros and I always had the impression that it could potentially unify the work done by each distro, they would all just pick up the wmaker package from that build system. So the work done by one packager benefits all the others. I think there are distro packagers in this mailing list. Can I ask them if a "unified wmaker package from build.opensuse.org" is something worth having? How much time do you think it would save across multiple distro packagers if there was a central package to download? I have no idea about how much work is done by individual packagers to ship wmaker for a particular distro. Maybe it's just 1min of "duplicated" work, maybe it's 30min, I don't know. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
