Hi all, chances are extremely well to get to better packaging projects. We had some discussions internally in Adiscon, and I was able to secure the help of Florian Riedl for getting this in the best possible shape.
Our goal is to get - better packages - more timely support for new distro releases - support for a broader set of distros (e.g. Fedora, often requested) - more ability for the community to steer this previous all-Adiscon project The 0mq discussion that started this thread is a good example of what this means. With the help of more community involvment we can reach the goals. And in order to make it easier to contribute, we need to streamline the process of how we build, release, test, and announce packages. Thankfully, Brian has offered to become an active team member. It would be great if others would also join in. I currently think that the right path to success is to start with small but sufficiently large project part. So I would propose that we focus on Ubuntu initially, get that part organized, learn a couple of things and apply the gained experience later to a "final" project that covers other distros as well (as mentioned by darix, the use of OBS sounds very appealing to me). In order to get going, I would like to see some ideas float on: - how should we communicate? (rsyslog mailing list, dedicated mailing list, github issue trackers, IRC, ...) - where do we track issues? (I have a strong preferrence for the github issue trackers) - what about doc? - where should we place the build platform (cloud I would guess, could we use Digital Ocean sponsorship for this)? - when do we start ;) - ... whatever else I haven't yet thought about. Please take a moment to voice your preferrences!
