I'd like to know how to apply to be a package maintainer. The MaintainerGuidlines document on the wiki is pretty vague on that. Please let us know what parts are vague; we've tried to make it clear, but we tend to forget things we think are obvious, so we're happy to fix
Hi, On Sun, Aug 29, 2004 at 15:51:16 -0700, Anthony de Almeida Lopes wrote: those things. The process to apply is about the following: 1. package software, create ports, publish them, maintain them 2. Read http://clc.morpheus.net:6999/clc/wiki?p=MaintainerGuidelines and see whether you agree to the rules and requirements metioned there; also read the CLC package guidelines, available through the "Documents" section of the CLC webpage, and validate your ports against them. 3. Send an application to clc-devel@lists.berlios.de, containing "links to packages the applicant did, and a list of packages she/he'd like to maintain. It's best to send an URL to some ports the applicant made". We also like to know who we're dealing with, so some notes about you are definitely appreciated. There are some examples in the mailing list archive at https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/clc-devel/ After that, some maintainers will look into the ports and advocate for the applicant if they think he/she is a good match, or give some tips how to improve them to fit
I'd also like to know how I register an account for the bug reporting system, or whether all bugs are supposed to be anonymous. For now, we've never had someone asking for an account, but if you plan to do a lot of bug reporting, this could be arranged. Anonymous reporting is fine though.
Hope this helps, Regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net
