Hi all,
there just was a request to test groups for pkgdb2 [1] and I thought
it might be a good opportunity to maybe start sharing at least some
core python packages among a few people.
For instance, I maintain ipython and the dependency chain when other
maintainers chose to orphan something I need for it (or ipython
introduces a new dependency). Such packages are good candidates to be
maintained by a group of people, so updates can be managed better and
several people have an eye on them.
What do others think about that? Who else would be interested in
starting a common python-sig group in pkgdb2?
I'm generally +1 for this, although I think people should still first try to contact
the primary maintainer and then patch things themselves. For example, in python{,3}.spec,
we're trying to follow a certain style of patch naming to keep things consistent and
it's very disconcerting when a proven packager who needs to fix something creates a
patch that completely ignores this...
But yeah, I do agree that this is a good idea :)
Will you start the group, Tom?
