-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We are very long overdue in getting a release out. I'd like to start working toward that. Here are a few things I think we need to ensure to include:
* vcld running with recent versions of perl (versions included as default in current Linux distros) * support netplan on Ubuntu * native support for nftables * running all VCL components on a different Linux distro. Since CentOS is no longer a stable, enterprise grade distro, we need to switch to focusing on another distro. I'd like to use AlmaLinux. * support deploying recent versions of Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Windows, and possibly Rocky and Debian (are any others needed?) We also need to evaluate the long list of JIRA issues that are open. I've already started looking over some of them. I think we need to balance the fact that we don't get releases out very often, so we should include a sufficient amount of stuff in the next release, but also not include so much that we never actually get it out. To add support for netplan and nftables, what would people think of using Ansible? I could see Ansible being useful to replace a number of things that vcld currently does. Obviously going back and changing that would be quite a bit more work, but if we decided to, it could be done gradually. The down side is requiring people to install and have some knowledge of Ansible to be able to use VCL. Please share any thoughts you have.
