FWIW, I plan to clean up the packages so they can be pushed to oS:F, however there are various issues:
Great :-)
+ the development in Moblin:Factory doesn't follow the openSUSE development cycle. So how should the packages be handled? I doubt we can use M:F as a devel project for oS:F, at least for now :/ Would some "forking" be a good thing?
A mini fork seems to be the only real option as of now.
+ we need a plan to know what we should release. I have no idea what the Moblin schedule is, but if we think 11.2, we're basically frozen for upstream versions now. Is it reasonable to release 11.2 with a Moblin version that is basically what we have today + bugfixes?
Yes;
Indeed - I'm somewhat dismayed by all this talk of 11.3 - I was under the impression that the openSUSE team were committed to getting this into 11.2 - we have a great opportunity to leverage our leadership here, and be first to market; it would be really sad to ceede that to Ubuntu.
Whom to you mean with openSUSE team? You asked some time ago on the project list as well, and there I said already "hurry up" ;) We're beyond feature deadline and therefore we're limited to what we can do now. I would love to have a stable Moblin UI - but a coordinated release of a Moblin image with 11.2 is fine as well and might be the better option since it gives you much more flexibility. And the message I heard so far on this list, is that nobody is targetting 11.2 except you ;)
Of course, whether it is a top-level desktop selection, and/or whether it carries a heavy 'Experimental' tag, is up to us :-)
Of course, for our next release, I imagine we'll be based on the 11.2 packages, and hopefully we'll come increasingly into sync there package wise (if not time-line wise).
