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

the package will pull in an awesome amount of (b)deps from universe, it's buggy, maintainer in debian doesn't respond to bugs very often. Upstream comes with security problems by default. No MIR filed. |
