Hello,
Well, looking back at the packages that I've created and send-pr'ed, it
seems that I have included quite good descriptions of the software in
question. Although I have to admit that the updates I've sent for
already existing packages dosn't really contain much of a description of
the software. I'll try to do better there next time.
Anyway, it seems most people think that pkgsrc-wip is the way to go with
new packages, and I will give that a try. However, packages that are
already in pkgsrc, how should those be handled? Still through pr's? Or
by creating a new entry in wip ?
Regards,
Ola Eriksson
