[clc-devel] Application for CLC Maintainer
by Till Biedermann 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hi everybody, when Johannes ask me to maintain a wiki page about my freevo ports I started (once again) thinking about an application to become a CLC maintainer. So my decision is made: I'd like to join the CLC-team. I am using CRUX for more than one year now, so I feel ready to become a bit deeper involved. If you agree with my application I will start with setting up the above mentioned wiki page. Furthermore I picked up some ports I use from unmaintained and updated them. You can find them here: http://www.tbmnet.de/crux/pickup/ Thanks for your consideration. Regards Till -- http://www.tbmnet.de

[clc-devel] Email format in Pkgfile

Hi guys, I'm thinking of changing the email address in our Pkgfiles to a more 'web-friendly' format: Joe User (joe at mail dot net) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> # $Id: Pkgfile,v 1.1 2004/10/11 20:38:08 jaeger Exp $ # Description: A general purpose cryptographic library based on GnuPG # URL: http://directory.fsf.org/security/libgcrypt.html # Maintainer: Matt Housh (jaeger at morpheus dot net) # Depends on: libgpg-error name=libgcrypt version=1.2.0 [..] <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I've realized that a simple search query by google prints out our email addresses :-( I prefer spam[1] refrigerated. What do you guys think? bye, danm [1] http://www.spam.com/sp.htm -- Daniel Mueller Berlin, Germany (OpenPGP: 1024D/E4F4383A)

[clc-devel] suggestion for a 'proposal submission' procedure
by Johannes Winkelmann 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Hey, I've talked to Jukka regarding proposals sent to clc which are forgotten after some time, and was wondering whether there are opinions regarding a policy to submit proposals which are automatically accepted after a while, if there's a certain amount of acceptance. The procedure I imagine would look like the following: 1. Submit a proposal, e.g. to cvstrac 2a discussion takes place 2b silent agreement (;-)) 4. Adjust proposal, call for vote 5a Interested maintainers vote (-1, 0, +1) there 6. After a certain time (for example 2 weeks), the proposal is either accepted or rejected I know this sounds very bureaucratic, but IMHO it's worse to make good proposals and be commited to solve existing problems and just being ignored. Please note that this is not at all meant as a criticism, just attempt to cope with reality :-) Ideas for such proposals are: - define a naming scheme for perl related ports (p5- vs- perl-); from Jukka - The guidelines about changing other maintainer's Job from Sten - "port of the week"; put up a webpage where extraordinary nice ports are published (no lengthy desciption). I e.g. discovered dnsmasq which I find _very_ handy, easy to use and working fine. Please comment :-) Kind regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] ports in contrib depending on ports in unmaintained
by Jukka Heino 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hi, When building every single port in contrib I noticed that some of them depend on packages that either don't exist or are unmaintained. In my opinion contrib shouldn't depend on having unmaintained available. I usually even disable unmaintained completely on my systems so some ports in contrib fail because of this. - bmp depends on libglade (unmaintained) - electricsheep depends on xscreensaver (unmaintained) - gal depends on libgnomeprintui and libgnomeui (unmaintained) - madwifi depends on linux (doesn't exist) - nicotine depends on pygtk (unmaintained) - obconf depends on libglade and startup-notification (unmaintained) - ogle depends on libglade (unmaintained) - rox-clib depends on libgtop (unmaintained) - rox-lib depends on pygtk (unmaintained) - rss-glx depends on xscreensaver (unmaintained) - spamassassin depends on p5-html-parser (doesn't exist) - xautolock depends on xfree86 (should be x11) - xblast depends on xfree86 (should be x11) - xsoldier depends on xfree86 (should be x11) So in my opinion maintained ports shouldn't depend on unmaintained or non-existant ports. The current situation is of course understandable, since most of the GNOME stuff isn't maintained anymore. But in general I propose we move towards a uniformly maintained contrib with no dependencies on other collections than base, opt and contrib itself. Regards, // Jukka
