Overview

Comparing ourselves to our coopetitors is a necessary task to know where we are at and decide where we could get better.

Comparison

Package proposal for MIR

We should categorize the missing ones in three categories.

  • agreed: means that we both agreed that we should pull them in supported list and will work on a MIR for Hardy
  • Rejected: agreed during UDS that it should not be pulled in main

Agreed

The following is a table of packages for which we now need to write a MainInclusionReport (MIR) following the MainInclusionProcess.

Status should be one of :

  • Assigned
  • In Progress
  • Completed
  • Accepted
