Yes; I thought one of the main tasks of the ST was to be in charge for the core ports, where some additional consistency is needed. The exception above was to offer better support for ports which cannot be reliably tested by the ST (ie if nobody uses xfs) or require some specific knowledge / actual usage (ie exim)
I wasn't aware of that (didn't we want to define the group's responsibilities and stuff some time?).
That's how I got it back at the time, but you're right: we have not talked in detail about this yet. I have the feeling that a small system group, say a couple of devs, would be a more efficient solution to take care of the tasks previusly managed by Per.
IMO it's nicer to have a specific maintainer for a port, and use the "ST group" as a fallback if noone cares about a specific port enough to put his name on it.
Heh, exactly the opposite of my idea :)
But it's not that I cannot be convinced that your scheme is superior. Maybe it needs some voting though ;)
Sure, I suggest we discuss this in next tuesday irc meeting: given that X11R72 appears very close to release* I think we really should get rid of our remaining doubts / tasks about CRUX 2.3 Regards, Simone * http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ReleaseSchedule -- Simone Rota Bergamo, Italy - http://www.varlock.com
