Greetings from a newly registered member!
I've seen the 'GSoC @ Infra' thread but I didn't want to hijack it
nor do I know how to reply to a thread through mailman...
I will be applying for GSoC this summer and GitLab is my first
priority as I have been using it since version 2 and I want to
contribute in any way I can. I have been talking with Vit Ondruch
about the packaging procedure and I just sent a mail [0] to the
ruby-sig list too, regarding this.
Excellent. ;)
I have also read last year's discussion [1] and it was made clear
by
Dan Allen [2] that besides the whole implementation thing, it is as
important to find some people that will maintain the project
longterm. And I am willing to do this. I don't know if it is possible
for more than one person to work on a project during GSoC, but
another fellow is interested in this as well [3]. So, now we are
two :p
This should be very interesting and I am looking forward to hearing
from the infra team :)
Sure. We have talked about this as well... I think the important thing
to focus on right now is the packaging. Until it's packaged and up to
Fedora guidelines, we aren't likely to look at deploying it. :)
Once the packaging hurdle is overcome, yeah, we would want a team to
help manage it and deploy it and keep it running.
Do see:
http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/requestforresources.txt
and
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Request_For_Resources
For our process on adding a new stupported application. It's kind of
lengthy, but we want to make sure things are supportable and
maintainable.
Good luck and keep us posted on the packaging process. ;)
