Zenwalk devs team needs 3 new packagers

hyperion · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 2:01 pm

Hi,

Gerard has left us, so we need to find 3 new maintainers to handle the packages he used to maintain.

We also need somebody to survey the Slackware changelog and submit the Slackware packages (those that we don't rebuild ) in the DEV FIFO.

Please don't wait to take the red pill

We need you $\!D/$

Cheers

JP

Which packages did he maintain?

i think he's talking about gmg:

http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title ... e_List#gmg
http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title ... ckage_List

this is quite a long list.

Code:

this is quite a long list.

Yes, I agree, and no packager should maintain so much packages.

It was a mistake (from me) to allow Gerard to maintain all of these...

That's why we need 3 maintainers, I learn from my errors

I use these:

- cmake
- conky
- digikam
- gthumb
- hplip
- hpijs
- links
- lm_sensors

and would be willing:

I know thats not quite 1/3 the list, but I'd also take on some libs from the list too if needed. I'm still new to packaging, but willing.

Also I still have slackware box so wouldn't already watching that changelog. I'd need to know what packages to watch for

I could 'take over' clucene; I need it for kde4 anyway.
I already have a buildfile for it; And have already built a
few clucene packages for my kde4 test-builds.

( I am the third person that answers the call... hope that it doesn't mean I have to take the rest of the packages!

)

I only done some packaging with buildpkg before, after reading some build scripts from gmg I think I'd like to take care of

smplayer
smplayer-themes
flash_plugin
gtkpod
libgpod

I hope I can figure out how to build them with buildpkg ...

Well..... if you need more than 3, I will be the 4th. Since I use Jasper to enable webcam function for ayttm, I guess I will take on that. As no one has claimed any of gerard's ISO packages, I will be willing to take on some. Here is my list of Gerard's packages that I am willing to help with:
- jasper
- gimp
- gphoto2
- libgphoto2
- links

Let me know if this is possible.

IMO, considering the amount of packages gmg left behind, more packagers are better... l!!!

if you really want it you can have it, I could take libavc, libfreebob instead.

Thanks, mate! I'll take it before you change your mind.

i think we should split this whole thing on more than 3 packagers, or we will run in the same troubles again if one of us leaves. i can take care of

- pcre
- pygtk
- pygobject

for a start and maybe of some more.

To whoever takes on gtkpod, please try to also compile faad2(-dev) so that we can have mp4 support. It requires libmp4v2 to be compiled, but its a bitch to do it by hand. I am trying to solve that issue for me, and will contact whoever builds gtkpod so that I can give my little bit back

DodoFXP, I don't understand. We already have faad2 in the repos. Are you referring to something else?
