[gentoo-dev] FOSDEM 2011
Hey! According to the FOSDEM list: We hereby invite ideas and proposals for main speakers, and proposals for developer rooms. The call for stands and lightning talks will be done after announcing the accepted devrooms. I applied for a main track (regarding gentoo prefix on windows), and i wanted to ask around, if there is interest in a devroom/booth/etc again this year (to be early enough - we missed it last year, right ;)). who will be attending FOSDEM next year? haubi and i will most probably be there if our company funds it. if not, and my talk is accepted, at least i will be there.

We've extended it to use our mysql-based server inventory and a bunch of additional features: * lvm-protection (not wiping named partitions on reinstall) * raid controller setup * ipmi configuration support * misc environment specific stuff The code is ugly and depends in most cases on an external information source to do the work, but given sufficient interest I'm willing to see if I can clean it up and make it generic enough for general use. We've been using it since 2007 or so and are reasonably happy with it, most of the gripes stem from the quality of our own changes rather than the base packages those changes were made upon :) So thanks, agaffney :) Grtz Ramon pgpNosHVb5g30.pgp Description: PGP signature

I believe that's what Mike's WTFing about. It's not that you're wrong, you're not, it's that you're debating a question that's no longer being asked. See: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/67098 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/67098 The post I replied to cited upstream issues as a reason not to adopt OpenRC. My point is that upstream issues are not a distinguishing factor between OpenRC and baselayout-1. It isn't like I'm re-opening a thread from months ago. I'm replying directly to a point others have raised. If there is no debate about whether OpenRC should be adopting it, then why is it even being discussed in this way? Let's just do it... Rich

Let's just do it... there is no debate. people saw Roy moving on and got scared. as i said originally, it makes no difference to us. we're moving to openrc and it will continue to be our default init system for the foreseeable future and the support channel is unchanged: go to bugs.gentoo.org. as for people who want to move to the latest shiny init, as i also said before, nothing is stopping them from getting it working today. we've had alternative init systems in the past that drop-in replace baselayout/openrc and there will continue to be ones in the future. however, until someone actually does the work to get one of the alternatives in the tree and actually working with other packages, there is no debate to be had as to the default init package. i'd also highlight that openrc focuses on one thing: it exists to boot the system and manage daemons via init scripts. it does not do all of the extended things that systemd is taking over (inetd, crond, udevd, etc...). -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I'm not making a funding offer on behalf of the trustees, that will require a trustees vote, just pointing out a possibility.
