Will this work?
It depends on some points: - you should give some more background information about the topics - I'll insert some questions regarding this below.
I don't know everything and would like to have expert advice ;-)
- you should mail some days earlier the next time ;-))
Will try to ;-)
The planned topics for tomorrow's meeting are:
* D-Bus 0.91 and PolicyKit/resmgr
We just switched to D-Bus 0.91 and the question arises whether to continue to use resmgr or switch to PolicyKit.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
That's what we try to figure out in the meeting.
* Move to GNOME 2.16
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).
Hmm, what's the reason for this?
Requests by e.g. lsb.
BTW: Will KDE be moved also?
With the next major KDE update: Yes, we will.
* 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.
What's the replacement for config files that are _generated_ by SuSEconfig? (as in: including /etc/sysconfig/foo is impossible for the respective application) -> You won't be able to do this in rpm postinstall scripts or alike ;-)
We have to figure this out for each script. It might be done in the postinstall of the packages that need it - but only there. Not for unrelated stuff.
