[Andreas Jaeger <aj@xxxxxxx>]

In tomorrow's meeting, we'd like to discuss the following topics.  Note
these are just brief remarks, if you do not understand what I mean, ask
me.  Please give me your input - and if you have stuff that we should
discuss, please tell us as well.


* log entries in .changes file

  Just a simple "Update to version x.y" is not valid in the packages
  changelog but happens far too often.  
  
  Goal: present the changes done to packages to users in a good way and
  use that for e.g. Release Notes.

* Autofs5 instead of autofs4?

  It was suggested to move from autofs4 to autofs5.

* Smaller systems - what can be done?

  There are many requests for smaller systems.  The minimal install is a
  first step.  The BASE project in the build service has cleaned up many
  dependencies and spec files so that systems might have a smaller
  footprint.  Is there anything else that can be done?

* Updating openSUSE:

  What options do users have for updating from one release to the next
  one?  Which of these will we support?  Some current options:
  - Boot from CD
  - zypper update
  - System Update

* Update of Printing

* NM enabling scripts followup - ntp

* Moving languages out of packages followup:

The idea is to add to spec file of packages a new rpm macro so that
subpackages are created and then related subpackages are repacked for
each language in our build system.  This way we would get
e.g. basesystem-$lang and gnome-$lang packages and those can then be
installed.
