Hi all,
now that I'm finally able to write to this mailing list, I'd like to
set up collaborative maintainership for the drupal-4.7 package that
was accepted last week after some time in the NEW queue, and for
future versions of drupal packages.
To be honest, I must admit that this is my first try at collaborative
maintainership (if this succeed, other packages could be
collaboratively maintained in future) and that I'd like to keep some
control over the process for the first releases, until I find my best
way to interact with other members.
Drupal package has changed a lot from the version that shipped with
sarge. I started from Karl-Heinz Nirschl's package and migrated it to
dbconfig-common, removing all of the database setup logic.
Database upgrade logic is also gone, while parallel version of
different versions of drupal is now allowed. Packages will be named
drupal-4.7, drupal-5.0, etc. allowing for system administrator to
setup multiple versions on the same server and manually migrating
databases from one version to the next. This is particularly useful
when a server is hosting multiple drupal sites, each with its own
database.
Postfix support is now active out-of-the-box with automatic database
setup.
I'm going to commit my changes to the alioth SVN repository in the
next few days, making it my working repository. I see that many
developers I don't know have access to the SVN repository and I'm
still trying to figure out how to validate commits before an upload.
Please, help me moving to collaborative maintainership making this a
pleasant experience.
I'm waiting to hear your suggestions and directions.
Regars,
