Hi Everyone, A thought that came up was maybe having a structured way of requesting new packages in the 'wishlist' thread.
So maybe having a simple template you follow for posting to the list for new package ideas:
Name: mypackage Version: 1.1 License: GPL Website: http://linux.duke.edu/mypackage/ Actively Maintained?: yes Packages exist?: yes (http://linux.duke.edu/mypackage/rpm/) Description: This is mypackage it does wonderful things. I especially like the --curediseases --solveworldhunger --promotepeace and --makedaylonger options.
Reasons for requesting: I like it a lot, it works well and it fits in well with the other panacea packages available in the panacea desktop.
Rough Software Requirements: libpeace libfood libvaccine libpipedreams gtk+ >= 2.2
=======
If everyone would do the background research to fill in this template for your wishlist package it would help out a lot.
Addendums to the templater are welcome.
