Hi, a few notes on port maintainance for CRUX 2.3; consider the following as a suggestion since we were unable to decide on a clear path towards normalization. Note: this only applies to the 2.3 branch. - About global Vs. specific maintainer for core ports: do as you like :) Basically if you feel like taking care of a specific port set yourself as the maintainer, otherwise we'll use core-ports. - About Packager fields for core and opt ports: list the original packager only if it's still active in the CRUX community, so we can limit the amount of unwanted emails sent to the wrong person. - Johannes (opt) ports need a new maintainer: I'll likely adopt the following: neon, subversion, polymer, xxdiff, licq. Johannes is ok with changing the maintainer info just in the 2.3 branch. - All ports should list external files: patches, support scripts, etc in the source array, except for pre-post install and README. We only have a couple of offending ports, nvidia and libexif (unused patch?). - We will soon remove the attic and contrib-old repositories since they were both meant as a temporary convenience solution during the git and new contrib initial phase. You may want to have a look into those repos before they're nuked ;-) Slightly offtopic: we need a new maintainer for mailing lists, if somebody's interested please speak up. Regards, Simone

Is there a list of unmaintained ports? How can I checkout the opt and contrib repos? Following the ContribHowTo i get the error: "Permission denied (publickey)." The contrib repo is now a standalone git repository? So the merging of .sync-tagged ports from httpups is completely gone?

Unmaintained ports just get deleted these days. I don't know the git command to show deleted files/directories off hand though :o

Write access to the git repositories is available via SSH only, so please send your public SSH key to your favourite crux.nu admin. Or to me ;)

Correct. Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
