Hi Camlers, the collab-maint project on alioth enables (using ACLs) all DD accounts on alioth to have commit access right to the repository. In the spirit of diminishing the sense of "ownership" of packages in our distribution, and to gain other side effect benefits (e.g. the fact that NMU patches can be directly committed in a repository) I'm hereby proposing to require a similar setup for our repository. Of course the same spirit of NMUs will govern the changes and DDs willing to commit stuff are required (moral suasion) to document their changes in debian/changelog. Practically, I don't think this will change anything in our way of working and I doubt that anyone else will feel the need to commit stuff, but I believe this is the right way to go for the Debian project as a whole, and I hence hope our project will be among the firsts in adopting this policy. The technical change is trivial, and can be requested by simply mailing the alioth admins. Will anyone object such a change for our repository? TIA, Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what? zack@{cs.unibo.it,debian.org,bononia.it} -%- http://www.bononia.it/zack/ (15:56:48) Zack: e la demo dema ? /\ All one has to do is hit the (15:57:15) Bac: no, la demo scema \/ right keys at the right time
