Hi! Last thursday we had a dist meeting to discuss policy changes for our distributions that affect a lot of teams. So these are the minutes, if you have questions, feel free to ask - this is just me typing. Greetings, Stephan Present: jpr, holgi, matz, cfarrel, mls, kukuk, hvogel, meissner, radmanic, ro, coolo, adrian, nadvornik, jsrain, gekker Patchrpms considered harmful no consistency checkin, so created problems in the past update stack can not check the integrity (by design) delta rpms are better anyway, just little bigger in cases new patches for old or only new products? too dangerous to disable Marcus decided: go for >= 10.3 and disable patch rpms Stricter checks for updates texlive update removed some manual pages some files were not marked as %noverify, which are changed by %post delta packages could not be applied, creating a 200MB update suggested policy: %post call in package build and rpm -Va output fails package Conclusion: rpm -V output is a critical bug (TODO: at least 257 packages in Factory affected) Sync build service with factory e.g. gnome team wants to maintain packages in build service time left out to discuss this Conclusion between those left in the room: GNOME team should go ahead, but should be aware that whoever submits a package to autobuild is responsible for reviewing the changes, no matter where they come from. Tools support earliest in spring 2008 according to build service road map -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
