The various clusters listed in redist_cluster need to have consolidation lines
Perhaps I missed it in all the email, but I don't understand the rationale
behind this. The bug neither explains it, nor references another bug which
does. And it seems very sketchy to me to shove "consolidation" tags into
packages which aren't part of any particular consolidation (but are all
defined in the "ips" consolidation).
The intent is to adjust the build_entire_incorporation script to
just work off the various consolidations (see attached script)
rather than munge on the contents of the "redistributable" package.
For this to generate a "complete" entire, then the various
clusters that are currently part of redist_cluster need to be in
one consolidation or another.
Okay, as I figured. In the future, "entire" (or whatever it'll be called)
will be managed by the distro maintainer (RE?), and will probably need to
have some mechanism for including packages that are part of multiple
consolidations, which is most of what's going on here. Forcing a
consolidation tag onto a package in that case seems like a shoehorn
solution to me.
Someone has to define it though. I'd expect that 'someone' delivers
to a consolidation. Thus, my original point about who David wants
to see own these in the short term. There's a pretty reasonable
argument for continuing to have the 'ips' consolidation own them for
now.
That said, all this will change again in the future, so if it makes life
significantly easier now, go ahead.
I'd hope to at least set a rule that entire isn't allowed to
incorporate packages with real contents directly. I don't have a
strong requirement that it's only the consolidation incorporations.
The change itself looks fine, FWIW. The slim and babel clusters might
belong to the install consolidation instead, but it doesn't really matter
much, IMHO.
