So the F-9-based XS-0.6 is closed (at long last), and the next step is to prep 0.7 based on F-11. Here is a rundown of the packaging / installer work I think needs to be done:
=Rebuild packages, spec fixups= Jerry Vonau has done a lot of the exploratory work, so mostly done I think. Thanks! Still, might hit issues and cry for help... =Switch from metapackage to 'groups'= RFH: The repos I build have no 'groups' defined, and we need to control livecdcreator/pungi and anaconda so that only the group (and its deps) is included. =Polish on the Anaconda / Installer= - With the F11 buildsys tools maybe we can now replace fedora-logos properly. - Anaconda on F11 seems to install from a bootable USB with less crashes -- will want to streamline the process. =Improve xs-config= There are several ways in which xs-config can be a lot less intrusive, for example using alternative init scripts (as we are doing with 'pgsql-xs' vs 'postgresql'). =FAQ= Why F11? Because the XS needs to be stable, and doesn't need bleeding edge, so targetting the "LTS" F11->RHEL6->CentOS path makes sense. The XS team would like to spend more time working on "tools on top" and less time tracking Fedora and regression-testing :-) Why are these packages out of sync with Fedora (missing F-12, etc)? The XS packages are still in flux and intrusive. And low-quality/risky from a Fedora PoV. As things stabilize in the future it might make sense to request inclusion. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
