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
