Hi all, Prompted by the discussions this week about being a maintainer and how to change something in MeeGo, I wrote a couple of articles on the subject yesterday and today, taking some real projects and examples.
Here they are: What's involved in maintaining a package? http://www.neary-consulting.com/index.php/2011/01/13/whats-involved-in-maintaining-a-package/ The article goes into what the workload is for being a package or project maintainer, and outlines some of the skills you might need. The Lifecycle of a Patch (or: Working Upstream) http://www.neary-consulting.com/index.php/2011/01/14/the-lifecycle-of-a-patch/ This article shows the typical path from developer to user, and describes the way "working upstream" is supposed to work. I hope they are useful! Cheers, Dave. -- Email: [email protected] Jabber: [email protected] _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
