* Where will Moblin UI packages get developed for openSUSE:Factory (what is the devel project) ?
Well; I guess inside the respective devel projects: In the absence of anywhere better I was planning to use GNOME:Apps and GNOME:Factory for the more gnome-ish new modules. We could of course use 'Moblin:UI' - or something; for the really new, clutter+stuff ones; perhaps a good plan.
* What purpose will Moblin:Factory have?
Well - we need to provide stable Moblin releases on the up-stream timeline, not that of openSUSE. So Moblin:Factory would be a place (I suggest) where the latest actually working version should live; and where we develop and test that stuff. But of course, that is just a stab in the dark; if you have a better design, that fits in better with openSUSE stuff - lets go for it. Bear in mind - that I have an almost total lack of experience of structuring this sort of parallel scheduled development, and/or deep understanding of the build-service and/or how -best- to avoid its many limitations. Indeed, that has been a substantial blocking factor in making any progress here. Thus your input now is much appreciated, and hopefully can help avoid problems in future. A focus (of whatever scheme) needs to be on ensuring that we have somewhere, that is not a wild-west of unstable versions, with uncontrolled updates; since we need to be able to have stable releases not based on the openSUSE time-line. I am also somewhat concerned that for a given change to Moblin:Factory (eg.) for a product, we would end up doing a submitrequest potentially to GNOME:Factory, GNOME:STABLE, Moblin:Factory, and potentially several repositories in ibs. This seems like a recipe for a horribly inefficient work-flow. That of course, could (perhaps) be avoided with un-versioned links; but this then makes tagging, snapshotting, or ever being able to reproduce a given build virtually impossible. Anyhow, better ideas much appreciated.
