I've been thinking about it somewhat, but I don't have anything firm yet. I
think the CVS trees should break down along the lines of individual
'programs' or sets of scripts, so they can be used for several different
distributions. Things like weblet are simple & self contained. It gets
uglier when you start thinking about all the scripts that make LRP go
(linuxrc, /etc/init.d/network, all the scripts for lrcfg, etc). I would
like to get these into CVS before modifying them (at least any more than I
have already). The problem is exactly where to draw the lines, and what to
do if there get to be several versions of these scripts that do similar
work. David D., for instance, has greatly modified these scripts for his
Oxygen release. I don't know if I should try to fold my modifications into
his code, or keep 2 (actually 4) seperate versions (David's, mine, 2.9.x,
and 'mountain'). I do plan on extensively modifying some of the low-level
booting (ie linuxrc and the backup scripts) to allow things like LRP-CD to
work cleanly...David's stuff does some of this, but I have yet to look over
his code in detail to see how much I can use and what I'll have to modify.
Since it's really the scripts (along with the limited busybox/POSIXness
stuff) that make LRP different from a 'real' linux distribution, I really
think they belong in CVS. I'll probably start by putting my extended
network/firewall scripts into CVS, and perhaps branch out into the more LRP
specific stuff with an updated version of my CD-ROM scripts (made generic
enough to work with CD-ROM, floppy, or any other boot method).
Other Notes:
I think Mike's doing a great job at project admin...no complaints here.
I like the idea of a periodic review of developers.
I'm under the weather (I caught some sort of a cold while in Vegas...made
driving halfway across the country to get home pretty miserable), and will
be home laying in bed the rest of the day. I actually feel a bit beter
today, so hopefully tomorrow I'll be in for a full day. Look for any
contributions (and communications) from me to be a bit limited for a week or
so until I dig myself out of the pile of accumulated work here...
