Hello, I did some things in fedora that I will not be able to finish, I thought it was a good idea to list them so that these are not forgotten. * most important, I begun reviewing Mattias Ellert submissions of globus and associated packages https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453847 I think that it would be nice if somebody continued the reviews. Mattias already helped me in the cernlib packaging, I think he should be sponsored, and I wanted to sponsor him after his first package was accepted. I am not in position to sponsor anybody now, though. * There are 3 bugs opened for smtpdaemon -> server(smtp). Keeping smtpdaemon for backward compat is right, it is just that it shouldn't be forgotten in the future: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438078 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438081 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438080 * I think that fcron should replace cronie as the default scheduler (though cronie should be kept too). * it would be nice if somebody moved forward the mail(local) virtual provides stuff, if it doesn't fly by itself: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472710 * I used to jump on all the reviews were the name seemed too generic to me (I am not the only one to do that, though). http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Packaging_Tricks#Use_of_common_namespace Tibbs said he wanted to make a guideline. I think that distributions should really coordinate to sanitize the namespaces, using the distributions mailing list would certainly be interesting in that regard. * I think that it would be nice to coordinate and document all the virtual provides: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ProvidesList http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/VilleSkyttä/VirtualProvides * I attach a script I used once to check how static packages are used. It is certainly very sub-optimal. Still open issues from that time: I found one real bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428384 and there is a package for which I couldn't convince the packager to requires -devel and not -static https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441814 * consolekit support integration: Most important bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452156 Then xdm support for xdmcp: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=237621 The wdm bug (information on that bug is obsolete, better look at the above bugs): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228079 For reference other related bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430388 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228110 * I have 2 package submissions opened (I'll close them in few weeks if nobody steps up): cnvgrib https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257781 g2lib https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257761 -- Pat
