Debtagging Debian-Med (Was: (user-)Tagging ITPs)
Hi,
at first: I wonder whether a discussion of this issues is better
located on Debian-Med list or on debtags-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.
The latter is in CC and I hope that interested people would be
willing to read the discussion on the Debian-Med mailing list
via list archive or just ask for a private CC of answers.

PS: Apropos tagging: Even more important than tagging the ITPs would be
to start working on debtags.
Agreed. All I am waiting for is a devel-announce telling debtags are mature
and summarizing how packagers and users can use them.
I guess there were such postings in the past but I hope for
answers from the DebTags-masters what to read for a quick intro
here.
If other persons
in debian-med are interested, we could discuss in a separate thread
about how to have a good start. It is just too easy to have 30 % done
the first week, 40 % the second, 42 % the third, and then forget about
debtags because nobody else uses them. On the other hand, If we are
enough to commit to implement them properly in debian-med, this can
motivate other developpers to follow the mouvement, thus giving a sense
to our work.
IMHO whe have not that many packages to tag (about 42 or so) and
we have some kind of starting point in the meta packages that give
some classification. IMHO we should strat with some reasonable
classifications first which means discussing whether the following
list would make sense:
med::bio
med::bio::devel
med::cms / med::publication / med::web
(I'm personally unsure whether we should tag zope-zms
which is the only dependency of this meta package at all)
med::dent
med::imaging
med::imaging::devel
med::pharmacy
med::physics
med::practice
med::tools / med::misc / med::foo (whatever)
Kind regards
Andreas.
