Hi gang |

It looks like we got all the coments we could get, so lets get done with it |
4 |
then. What's left is minor legwork that is best done by the maintainers of |
5 |
the individual herds, here is the approximate list: |
6 |
|
7 |
Herds: |
8 |
|
9 |
0. If you feel you did not polish up the idea of a particular herd or category |
10 |
enough and you have not created a bug for it (blocking #138049, the tracker) |
11 |
I suggest you finally do it - it will become much more apparent then what to |
12 |
do.. |
13 |
|
14 |
0.5 Decide on the herd name. |
15 |
|
16 |
1. Edit gentoo/misc/herds.xml and add the entry for the corresponding herd, |
17 |
listing developers who ended up maintaining it. |
18 |
|
19 |
2. Adjust metatdata.xml files for the packages that should belong to it (the |
20 |
ones in the corresponding category are of course prime candidates, but dont |
21 |
forget to check sci-libs as well and check if there any others outside that |
22 |
you are aware of). |
23 |
|
24 |
3. Create an alias for this new herd. It is probably best if the alias matches |
25 |
the name of the herd - bugwranglers will have no problem assigning the bugs |
26 |
then.. |
27 |
The aliases are on dev.g.o under /var/mail/alias (your dev login will allow |
28 |
you to access/modify them) and I would encourage the maintainers of these |
29 |
herds to create these aliases, so that you have more controll over your mails |
30 |
and I do not screw up (and not end up with people asking me for a trivial |
31 |
modifications many month aft the reorg :)). |
32 |

|
35 |
Looks like right now only sci-crystallography could make sense, as there are |
36 |
enough people and packages behind it. |
37 |
|
38 |
sci-proof - saw some activity but I understand that most of the proposed |
39 |
packages are not in the tree yet. May start as a herd and transition to the |
40 |
category when enough packages go in.. |
41 |
|
42 |
sci-physics - many packages were listed, so a candidate, but I did not get a |
43 |
clear impression of how "finalized" the idea was and how many people finally |
44 |
decided to stay behind it. |
