Re: Importing packages into CVS

Quoting Greg Beaver <greg@chiaraquartet.net>:

My suggestion is to give a developer some limited time for pulling the release (like a week, two weeks at most) since the problems warranting said pull are usually quite obvious. And let's remove that "Delete" button except for the packages that don't yet have any releases. Our main goal is to ensure that whatever was released via PEAR stays there. Of course deleting the packages will still be possible with the help of the admin, but I hope our admins learned that lesson already. :) So what I propose is writing guidelines for deleting packages / releases and making changes to pearweb to enforce these.

These are *excellent* suggestions. Would you mind writing up a draft for guidelines? I would like to see this implemented very soon.

That all sounds reasonable to me.

In this case, Christian Weiske is the horse in your proverbial analogy :), as he is both the QA engineer and the person wishing to restart development.

Are we cool? Do the Horde folks and everyone feel their needs are addressed?

So the specific orphaned package(s) in question will be imported, but otherwise the changes that will be implemented are the ones about pulling releases described above? Sounds good to me. Best, -chuck -- "we are plastered to the windshield of the bus that is time." - Chris
