The Application Review Board would appreciate input from the Tech Board on an issue that's blocking all applications in our review queue. Simply put, certain parts of our toolchain and runtime can't currently handle applications installed entirely under /opt. More details here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PostReleaseApps/MaverickExceptionsProposal There are ongoing discussions in the ARB and the community about which specific technologies merit an exception to /opt installation, but general agreement on allowing some exceptions until our tools catch up with our specification. A couple of possible actions from the Tech Board for tomorrow's meeting: - Request a list of specific tools/technologies that require an exception to /opt installation, which the ARB can bring to the next Tech Board meeting for approval. - Approve exceptions to /opt installation on the general principle of "only where absolutely necessary, and only for Maverick", and delegate the decision(s) on specific tools/technologies to the ARB. But, any comments or suggestions are welcome. Allison -- technical-board mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
