Re: [Pkg-dssi-devel] multimedia-policy: DSSI and related packages?



Whoops, I'll send a copy to debian-multimedia as well.  Forgot to copy
it on the first message....

I did wonder about this initially but I'm not sure it's necessary.  The
only nice thing might be if there's a Provide: dssi-plugin, people could
more easily search for plugins to use.  I suspect that debtags would be
a better method of doing this; maybe we could ask for a tag to be added
(though I've no idea where in the hierarchy; we should ask Enrico).

I'd welcome people packaging dssi plugins.  I'd encourage them to ask to
be added to the pkg-dssi group on alioth and do it in the svn repository
there but of course this is just a recommendation; I'm aware that some
people don't like group package maintenance.

Any ideas what sort of information / text we should provide for this.

Sorry about the delay in replying by the way.

Cheers,
