Hi, I learnt a few days ago that we finally have a xdg-specs git repo. So let's move forward :-)
This mail is about deciding which specifications we want to migrate to the xdg-specs git repository. It's not about which layout we'll use after that (Aaron worked on http://gitorious.org/xdg-specs/ which is an example of what we can do); this will be a second step in the discussion. Right now, I just want to import all specs, each one with its cvs history and in its subfolder. And then we'll be able to move files around the way we want. Let me stress that we can always add other specs later -- this first step is mostly important for the specs for which we want to keep the vcs history. So here's a list of specifications grouped by fate: Will be moved to xdg-specs: autostart-spec basedir-spec desktop-entry-spec menu-spec systemtray-spec Will be moved to xdg-specs unless someone shouts: clipboard-extensions-spec clipboards-spec recent-file-spec wm-spec xembed-spec xsettings-spec Will stay somewhere else, unless maintainers wants to move it to xdg-specs: icon-naming-spec (xdg/default-icon-theme git repo) icon-theme-spec (xdg/default-icon-theme git repo) shared-mime-info-spec (xdg/shared-mime-info git repo) startup-notification-spec (startup-notification git repo) Will likely stay somewhere else because they're already external: UTF8_STRING (http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/UTF8_STRING/) XBEL (http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/) XDND (http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/xdnd/) XDS (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/direct-save) file uri (http://equinox-project.org/spec/file-uri-spec.txt) ghns (http://ghns.freedesktop.org/spec/) Will not be migrated because we have just a wiki page right now: cursor (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/cursor-spec) clipboard manager (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/clipboard-manager-spec) icc (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/OpenIcc/ICC_Profiles_in_X_Specification_0.3) MPRIS (http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/index.php/Media_Player_Interfaces) Note that I'm unsure about the startup-notification-spec. We can possibly move it to xdg-specs too. If there's any other spec that we want to import with some history (thumbnail, secret, visual notifications, trash, sound theme, sound naming), please send me a mail with the information on where to get the source and the history of the spec. I think this covers most of what are currently the fdo specs. We have more stuff on http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications but they are either not specs (like X extensions) or proposals that went nowhere, or that were not discussed. Also keep in mind that we can always add more stuff later in the git repo, except that it will probably be without the vcs history. Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
