We first have to merge all the RPMforge repositories and divide the work. Pasi will be doing some platforms (RHEL/ppc/s390/ia64/...), Dries will do some platforms (Fedora/i386/x86_64/alpha/sparc/...) and I will do whatever is left and makes sense (RHEL/Fedora/RH/i386/x86_64). Other people are welcome to join and support the things they require (like RH8, RH9, FC1) or whatever they want to help out with. We also would appreciate if people are willing to build in parallel, maintain packages or fix problems. (which do not necessarily require subversion commit access) But I do agree we need such a package once we have the directory layout and our first mirrors. > In a previous note Dag mentioned the tracking of changes with Fedora Extras and > others depending on people volunteering to help out.

I don't want to spend resources (volunteer's time) for manual processes. Programmers are very welcome. Small scripts can help doing most of the work and can be merged/improved as we learn more of what is required. Most of the QA can be automated by simple stand-alone checks that are sequentially performed. Much like unit-testing. For those interested to help out: http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/ http://lists.rpmforge.net/ [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] People that depend on some package/software for their company, let me know. I would prefer someone who uses it to maintain the package. People that want to help out with the infrastructure and website, please contact Dries or me. We definitely need some sort of wiki so centralize documentation and link to other project documentation. -- dag wieers, [email protected], http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
