Packages

[Fabrizio Furnari]

I'd like to inaugurate this new ML starting with a simple consideration on
how to manage the packages on the new version of ArcheOS; let me know if I'm
saying something wrong or if you don't agree:

   - For packages available in the standard Debian repositories (eg. R,
   GPSDrive) we must decide a "freezing" date. After that, as in many other
   distros, the package must be updated only in case of bugs and security
   alerts.
   - For package not available in repositories, either debs or source code
   packages, the freezing date can be a little more delayed, due to the large
   number of packages distributed in this way and the time spent on each
   package to build the deb on it.
   - After the "freezing date" a wiki page with the list of all the packages
   installed (either via apt-get or via other sources) must be kept clean from
   alteration.
   - After the freezing date the "packages" folder in the GIT repos must not
   be updated/modified

What do you think about?
