Ca. 170 of them :-) These are the ones listed at The idea is to have a draft which can easily be taken and adopted. Inputs will be lists at best knowledge (taken from the CMakeLists.txt file). Synopsis and description are pre-filled from Debian and Mageia. Nevertheless 170 packages are a lot of work, which I would like to distribute. Esp. checking the licenses and linting is quite some effort. Questions: * To distribute the workload, I'd like to put the drafts somewhere. Should I push this into a wip-branch? Or hat else would be an option? * Should these apps be sorted alphabetically of being grouped (development, office, system, education, utilis, …)? * Any other hints for managing this mass of patches and changes? -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
