Playgrounds repository

Summary

The Playground Repository gives contributors a place to host packages that are not up to the standards of the main Fedora Repository but may still be useful to other users. For now the playground repository contains both packages that are destined for eventual inclusion into the main Fedora Repositories and packages that are never going to make it there. Users of the repository should be willing to endure a certain amount of instability to use packages from here.

All packages in Playground must play nice - no bad licenses, no proprietary software, no patented software.

Owner

  • Name: Your Name
  • Email: <your email address so we can contact you, invite you to meetings, etc.>
  • Release notes owner:
  • Responsible WG: Env and Stacks WG

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 21
  • Last updated: 2014-03-01
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

For now the whole proposal leaves [here].

Benefit to Fedora

The main benefit will be easily installable software, which:

  • could be for a long time in review queue, waiting for reviewers.
  • is ugly or hard to package and review (e.g. bundling).
  • has requirements on different version of libraries than currently is in Fedora.

Users can install more packages, developers can offer their packages more quickly.

Scope

  • Proposal owners: Env and Stack WG
  • Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Release engineering: It's not a System Wide Change, because it doesn't break other software, but it will be needed releng for creating repos and similar stuff.
  • Policies and guidelines: Most of guidelines will be [here] for now. There need to be document with policies, but existing docs shouldn't change.
