Ok some work of me: i make packages for Aurora Linux (that's fedora for sparc basically), Red Hat Enterprise Linux and for Fedora Core 1, 2 and 3. You can find them on http://dries.ulyssis.org/ayo/ They should all be signed with my public key and my key can also be found on that site. About fixes: i wrote quite some patches to get stuff working on aurora or the newer gcc of fc3 but most of them get included in programs after mailing the author: so most of them are gone :-) > As for commit logs, http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora- > extras-commits has what you're looking for. Thanks i'm subscribed and maybe it's interesting to add this list to the page http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/communicate/ ? > Policy-wise, that'll come at the same time as we start doing the first. > But it'll probably end up being something mostly along the lines of be > smart, make good packages and there won't be huge problems. Ok but for example: is each spec file 'owned' by 1 person who is responsible for that spec file? Or is the responsibility divided by version of fedora core or is everyone equally responsible for all spec files? I don't expect you to write a complete document about the policy but maybe some lines with some general guidelines might be interesting for everyone on this list who would like to participate? kind regards, Dries Verachtert
