[arch-dev-public] request: move sudo to base-devel
by Roman Kyrylych 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Right now sudo is in Extra. I request to move it to Core/base-devel because it is needed by makepkg to be used by user (which is the right way). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] Logo -- Concerns over developer entries.
by James Rayner 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Forwarding on some concerns over entries by developers in the logo competition. I havn't made an official entry, but I have been taking ideas on some designs, with the intention of an official entry after development. http://src.iphitus.org/arch-logo/conceptAB.png http://src.iphitus.org/arch-logo/conceptC.png http://src.iphitus.org/arch-logo/conceptD.png To quote: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=294343#p294343 " Finally, I have a more logistical concern about your potential submission. Rules have been laid out that devs will be the ones doing the initial vote on the logo, and the community only votes in the case of a tie. You submitting as a developer flags as an overt conflict of interest. Regardless of whether you vote or not on your design, you have no way to assure the community that nepotism won't come into play in the logo decision, if you submit. This will discourage others from submitting as they will all be starting at a SIGNIFICANT disadvantage as a decision maker will be creating a design of their own. If the developers wanted to create their own logo, they should not have ordained a community contest to have a logo created. I'm hoping all developers can appreciate this point of view. " So two points: - Conflict of interest, easily solved - Favouritism. Thoughts? James
