The packagers have started already with the first packages, we want to discuss the timeframe for the move and the move of GNOME to /usr (from /opt/gnome).
I really like this move. I am just concerned that there will not be enough time in the current schedule to complete the entire task.
* SuSEconfig removal
SuSEconfig is currently run after each package installation by YaST and is a huge bottleneck. Some scripts have already been removed and we have to discuss how to move on.
I agree with this. I think the changes needed should be done at the time. I dislike the running of this script all the time.
* update messages general/conditional (e.g. bind)
During update of packages they could notify users about changes via email and/or the SuSEplugger (until 10.0, this is not anymore in 10.1). Most of these are outdated and not really usefull anymore and should be removed. The question is how to handle situations like bind where config files get rewritten and the user should be informed if this fails.
I prefer the email notification. I would like to see the few situations where config files change that an email is sent to root.
* Linker Options and Optimizations
We plan to use the recently developed linker optimizations for the GNU hashstyle and use the readonly relocations:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=both" (http://lwn.net/Articles/192082/ ) LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z relro" (see http://people.redhat.com/drepper/nonselsec.pdf)
I think this is a good move. Also I prefer the dropping of UP kernel. I like having things as close to the same as possible. I think the advantages out way the disadvantages.
