Here is a sum up/proposal. This is just a draft, and I think that it could be useful to improve/augment/correct this. Maybe this also could be on a wiki page? Well, as you (OSG gurus) wish! 1. Roles - Maintainer (builds packages for a specific toolset, tests the built packages, moves to public area when tested) - Tester (Helps the maintainer testing deployed binaries = has access to non public built packages) - Admin (Manages permissions of maintainers, writes test cases) 2. Infrastructure: - A public download area. - A private (= "currently in test") download area. - A wiki/tracker/shared spreadsheet/something to list ToDo's and bugs. - A wiki/tracker/shared spreadsheet/something to sum up the packages, toolsets, and their state (not done, building, built, testing, ok). - A wiki/something to keep useful documentation and notes about building. Maintainers have write access to everything. Testers have write access to bugs report (read access for other things). What do you think about it?
