I've started the rewrite of this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/OrphanedPackages Some things to do: * Solicit feedback on the new strategy for unorphaning: In the past we had time frames for unorphaning packages. Packages that were orphaned less than a week ago needed to be given time between the announcement and taking of ownership. Packages orphaned for longer than three months needed to be re-reviewed. ATM, this is hard to do with the PackageDB. - We need to add log events for when a package was orphaned befor eit was imported into the packagedb. - We need to extract the Orphaned events from the log when we generate the list of orphaned/retired packages. - We need to display the date of the orphaning only on the orphaned pkgs page. Instead of doing this, I'd like to have a different policy. If the last update of the spec file (extractable via cvs log -r HEAD *.spec) is older than X months (for now, the page says 3), the package needs to be re-reviewed. Does this sound reasonable? * Mark the retired packages (from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/RetiredPackages) as retired in the packagedb instead of orphaned. Then delete this page. * Sync entries from the orphan package list to the packagedb. When in doubt, send email to the package maintainer to make sure the package should be orphaned. After this is done, delete this list from the wiki. * Perhaps, formalize the procedure for Potentially unmaintained packages: Set yourself to be a comaintainer. Then orphan the package. - -Toshio -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGzzrDX6yAic2E7kgRAtOQAJ9VI60+5VPAP+k8RnuHnXWCZwsg8ACgl5sq qfEJMY6uuT1swbvFnvZU0kg= =JV55 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
