its time to start thinking about how we want to manage updates to openSUSE 11.2 when it is released. I think it is a good idea to incrementally open up the process of releasing updates to the community so that everybody can submit updates.
Yes that sounds like a good plan.
- there will be an externally accessible "simple" interface to SWAMP where anyone can submit a patchinfo (this has to be developed). Due to time constraints we can not open up the internal workflow tracking to the outside as no proper ACL support can be implemented in time for 11.2.
- package updates can be submitted against openSUSE:11.2:Update
Adrian can we make this a new request type maybe? Instead of another webtool i would like to integrate this with the buildservice. Does not sound too hard to do. Just a submitrequest with additional data attached which we can later export to swamp. What do you think?
- A group of openSUSE people (both community and Novell internal, I suggest 5 people) reviews update submissions if they're in line with the opensuse update policy and coordinates their releases. Unclear how to bootstrap this group.
That should be simple. Is there anyone who would be interested in this?
- To ensure timely release of security updates, each devel group for 11.2 must contain at least one Novell employee. We can think about relaxing this for future openSUSE releases.
We don't have this rule for devel projects for factory. As maintenance for released products is is just another assignment for the devel projects i think we have to live without this. I understand what you are trying to achieve (an escalation path for the openSUSE maintenance team you propose above) but i would rather handle this with a Rapid Response Team. The Rapid Response Team would be the Team the openSUSE Maintenance Team can escalate updates to that they, for whatever reason, can't get from the devel project.
