So from what I get from the talks on irc, we're not yet ready to let foresight die (which is good I think), that leaves us with ~ 3 options. Lets sum them up: a) We build our own from scratch base system and maintain it ourselves. This will need a lot of manpower and disciplin to keep it running, uptodate and maintained for every single package in there. b) We define what our base is and just wrap them (no rebuild just repack the rpms) This will give us a well maintained system (e.g. fedora) that we can build anything else on. We won't need a bootstrap for this. As far as I understood, mirrorball can help us there. This is pretty much the boot approach we know from some time ago. c) is some sort of hybrid, we don't just fetch and repack the rpms but fetch the srpms and rebuild them. Mirrorball has its part here too. Not sure of the details yet. Is it possible to just use rpm build tools to build from specfile and use the result? But I want to get the discussion to be on the mailinglist, so that it is persistant.
