Looking for comaintainers

[Brendan Jones]

Hi all,

(posting to the music list first)

I've had to step back and admit to myself that I am doing a pretty poor 
job of maintaining the packages that I am the primary owner of.
If any one is interested in taking over primary maintainer-ship of the 
anything from following list please do so (with the exception of 
anything in the lv2 stack, qtractor, qmidiarp and guitarix)

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/bsjones/

Thanks

Hey Brendan. I might be interested, as I maintain a few related packages
for Slackware and may as well pitch in to do the same for the other OS
in my life: Fedora.

Do I have to be a Fedora package maintainer already? I am not, but I
have created RPMs before and even submitted one or two to rpmfusion but
sort of ended up at a dead end.

I am in the FAS system (I think I am, anyway; I have a Fedora People
homepage) but that's about it.

I probably don't have time but could you give me an overview of what is 
involved and a typical process?  (I haven't done any maintaining).

BTW, thanks for all the work you have been doing so far - those are some 
_long_ lists!

Regards,

Phil.

I'm interested, (particularly for guitarix since I'm working on some IRs
and presets for that project currently) I will say that joining the
packaging group hasn't been easy for me, as I've run into trouble with no
man pages, and unrevisioned .so files (apparently a no no for us, but the
app isn't under active development) or weird build requirements that have
to be submitted first. Plus my kid was just born so I haven't been exactly
overflowing with time.

Brendan, let me know what you think. Maybe there's an easier app for me to
push through to get this to a place to help you.

I am willing to help, but it seems I need a little mentoring.

I do have experience packaging .rpm, but sometimes get caught in technical details sometime unique to packages.

For example, I made a spec file for mscore, but there were problems with the fonts ?

It was a while ago and I do not recall all the details.

I know we exchanged a few emails on the topic.

I got as far as I could.

So willing to learn and help out ;)

Hi I'd be happy to help on Rosegarden, as it's one of my beloved linux 
audio software and usually compile it myself from source.

However I have no idea what the (formal and techncal) process is to get 
involved, if anyone would care to provide some pointers.

And as others have pointed out, thanks for maintaining a very long list 
of cool music software.

Lorenzo.

Hi Brendan,

seems I'm a bit late to the party... "You are lost in a maze of mailing
lists, all of which flow over" ;)

I'd like to take over or co-maintain a couple of packages related to
Ardour, and/or which I'm using myself. The old 'ardour' package should
simply be retired, feel free to throw it to me over the fence, or do it
yourself :).

- a2jmidid, hydrogen, jaaa: use it occasionally

- ardour: superseded by 'ardour2', needs retiring. I'm already co-
maintainer, but AIUI only the "main contact" can retire a package

- aubio: dependency of Ardour (and denemo), should be updated to
0.4.x.

- jack-audio-connection-kit: essential for Ardour (and other things)

- libffado: I have audio interfaces that require this, so I might just
as well take it ;)

- liblo, liblrdf, libsamplerate, lilv, lv2, serd, sord, sratom, suil:
dependencies of Ardour

Feel free to make me "main contact" for all your packages of which I am
package admin or have requested it -- some have other admins already,
perhaps you want to ask them also?
