Hi Chen, As I'm the MeeGo maintainer let me outline my thoughts and reasoning behind my MeeGo strategy. > I intend to review two meego-related packages[1][2], but I'm confused > with which package name will be more appropiate. > [1]https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=610794 > [2]https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=610842 All moblin packages will be renamed to meego. Whether that is all during the F-14 timeframe or isn't completed until F-15 I'm not sure yet. All new packages I intend to call meego as I don't see the point in reviewing them now and renaming them in a month or two, possibly less. > The packager is determined to package meego 1.0 packages for F14 which > means we need to package old versions instead of latest upstream > version. Meego 1.0 still use old package name moblin-* the same as > moblin 2.1 for all of its packages. Howerver, upstream renamed all of > those package to meego-* in meego 1.1 which will be released in Oct. > 2010. No I'm not determined to package MeeGo 1.0 for F-14. So please don't change what I have said. In the short term I plan to package MeeGo 1.0 for the alpha so that there is something for people to start testing with. There's currently very little in the MeeGo 1.1 release and there's a lot of churn due to the renaming upstream which is and will cause us problems. So once F-14 alpha is out and the F-14/rawhide branch has taken place I can then do all the rename breakage in F-15 and get the 1.1 package deps shake up stabilized there while people can continue to test some stuff in MeeGo 1.0 in the F-14 branch where its hopefully slightly stable and some of the other things that have changed from Moblin 2.1 to 1.0 have changed and can be closely tested. Once MeeGo 1.1 in F-15 rawhide is OK and looking OK I can then build and tag it quickly and simply into F-14. > I want to ask if it's appropiate to use new package name meego-* > instead of moblin-* for meego 1.0 packages. > > e.g. > meego-panel-devices > Upstream uses moblin-panel-devices[3] in meego 1.0, but renamed it to > meego-panel-devices[4] in meego 1.1.

No, but that was due to time and QA in the lead up to release. We don't need to follow 100% what they do and I don't see the point in 2 package reviews for the one package in less than a month. The upstream git even for the 1.0 release is called meego, its clearly stated in the upstream the direction the package names are going so I don't see what the problem is. Hopefully the outline above will give you further insight into my strategy. Regards, Peter BTW this discussion is better off for the mini list as I mentioned previously so I'ved added it as a CC Peter -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
