Hi,
My employer recently released a new product (Habitat) that includes a
from-source packaging system [0]. Because I am interested in packaging
software that requires xlib, I was going to start packaging xlib and
its dependencies.
I have created an "xorg" namespace (origin)[1] in their package
repository and was planning to upload packages to it as I completed
them.
I'd like to use the xorg namespace so that the packages are grouped
nicely together. But, if you'd prefer I not use the xorg name or if
someone from the xorg project would like to package the software, I
can give control of the xorg namespace to a more appropriate person.
I am not aware of any packaging system or distro in which X.Org itself
controls any xorg namespace or packages - we only manage the upstream
source releases, and leave dealing with a million packaging systems to
the people who actually use those systems. I can't seen any reason we'd
want to treat packaging system number one million and one any differently.
