Contents
Right now, there's only a little content in this wiki. So we can link it all to the front page. As we generate more content, we'll have to organize things better.
ConflictingFiles is a page to coordinate distribution renames of files upstream provides. These renames are caused because the file exists in more than one package at a time. Coordinating these renames reduces end-user confusion by making the renames the same across distributions where possible.
ContactingPackagers documents ways to contact specific packagers in other distributions.
WhyUpstream documents why we should encourage all our packagers to upstream their changes.
DistributionLocations where to find BTSs, VCSs, patches amongst other things.
Meetings lists cross-distro meetings, and links to their conclusions.
Projects
