I agree with the idea of a rolling release model - however I think we
need to tune it for our needs - I think of it more closely to the kernel
development model but not the same - we have a distro not a kernel.
(i) Stable - Fedora M.n (e.g. 14.0)
What normal users run.
(ii) Staging (or updates testing :-)
Staging-Security.
* This is the staging area for collections that are
deemed worthy of rolling into stable after some
wider testing.
* Security updates should be in a separate security-staging
repo.
* Whenever we move a bunch of packages from staging to
stable we raise the minor number to M.(n+1). Larger
changes may require major number bump if deemed
appropriate (e.g. systemd, kde 8.0, gnome 3 and
occasionally a kernel update)
* Maintainers required to test reasonably anything that hits
staging - not on all platforms or in all configs but as
many as they can reasonably.
* We keep iso file of current major (M.n) and prior major for
install purposes (M-1.x)
(iii) Development - (aka rawhide)
* These should be tested by pulling packages into current
stable or staging - just as they would be after they get
moved to staging. This is definitely not a separate install,
but add-on packages to staging/stable.
