Feature Proposal: Mate Desktop Environment
Hi. Let me introduce myself first. I'm former Mandriva Turkiye community admin and now Mageia & OpenMandriva community member. Also one of Turkish translators of Mageia. A packaging padawan, thanks to my mentor zezinho. I had maintain Mandriva Turkey' s community repository until 2011.
I'm willing to package and maintain Mate DE. As you may already noticed i put a Mate DE feature proposal for Mageia 4. I know there were discussions about it but mainly for Cinnamon. I clearly understand objections about Cinnamon and have answers like those objections.

ml receiving mode options clear as mud
https://ml.mageia.org/l/suboptions/dev is much different than Mailman pages. Besides the rude mousetype surrounded by vast amounts of whitespace, the select list for receiving mode is ambiguous. Among the selections is "do not receive your own posts", but nothing to indicate receiving your own posts is even possible, which is what I want, so that if I see no responses to what I sent, I don't have to visit the archive to find out whether it reached the list instead of disappearing into the ether. -- -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

remove python-distribute
We still have python-distribute. I am listed as the maintainer. As far as I remember, we made it obsolete about a year ago because there are other packages that provide the same thing. I remember breaking the BS when I imported it. But now I see Kharec imported it again on 2/22/13 It needs an update. Do we need to keep it? -- -- Best regards Thomas Spuhler

Updates for stable
Hi all When sending updates for mga2 or mga3 could you remember to list RPMs & SRPMs and also an advisory on the bug report please when you assign it to qa-bugs. Also to add yourself into CC. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy#Maintainer_.28or_any_interested_packager.29 QA test RPMs but ask for SRPMs to be pushed so both are needed. The advisory is there so we know what the update is for and what to test, but it is also used on updates-announce ML and the wiki. ie. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/ Many thanks Claire

can a rpm belong to a parent group?
Hi *, Mageia's group policy did split some categories into multiple ones - what once was Applications/Communications is now Communications/Bluetooth Communications/Dial-Up Communications/Fax Communications/Mobile Communications/Radio Communications/Serial Communications/Telephony and as you can only assign one single group in rpm (AFAIK), what to do with an application that covers multiple of those? Fax, Telephony & Dial-Up for example. Is it permitted to use the group "Communications" or does one have to pick one from the list? ciao Christian
