Welcome to mageia-app-db's project home¶

What is mageia-app-db ?¶

We want to produce a website dedicated to a distribution's applications and packages, and whose main goals are :

allow to browse the package database, provide the main informations about packages, like any other distribution does (see http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages for example).
focus on interaction between users, testers and packagers
- from users to packagers : backports requests, new soft requests (with a voting system), ...
- from packagers to users/testers : testing requests, ie packagers asking users to test a certain package before pushing it to the official repositories, ...
customizable user notifications on your home page, RSS feed or e-mail (new backport available for your preferred soft, new update candidate available and awaiting testing...)

See the full record of user needs and potential functionalities here : NeedsAndFunctionalities

See the open tasks : maybe there are tasks where you can help ?

This is a PHP5 project using symfony 1.4 as a framework.
