openSUSE admin

Hi Michael

Let me make this ticket a public one that you might use to refer to in discussions.

In general, we (as the openSUSE heroes) have relaxed rules/policies of setting up something new. So far, there is only the question of the supportability and maintenance of services, that get implemented.

For example: https://build.opensuse.org/search?search_text=Fedocal does not provide any result. So there seems to be no (RPM) package of fedocal (yet) available. It might be, that there is a package for other distributions, that we can use. It might even be that we need to run a different distribution inside the openSUSE infrastructure to provide the service - all doable.

BUT: this includes always that someone (you?) needs to handle the maintenance of the service. Not just for setting it up: we need people who volunteer to maintain the service for it's whole lifetime. If this is something that you included in your request (the "I volunteer to maintain the service for it's lifetime" message), everything should be fine. But we need you explicitly standing behind that. Otherwise you will just increase the load of an already overloaded small group of volunteers driving the openSUSE infrastructure...

Also: please feel free to do some marketing around your idea on our mailing lists, forums and other social media accounts to get some more supporters.

I hope this makes sense to you.

With kind regards,
Lars

Hi there - and a Happy and Healthy 2022!

I'm currently closing old tickets which did not see much change.
If the main concern still exists and should be handled, please re-open by just replying to this Email.

Thanks in advance,
Lars
