Short answer: go for it. Long answer: see Board meeting minutes from today. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2006-06-06 --Max On Mon, 5 Jun 2006, Jesse Keating wrote:
I would really like to see some movement on integrating Legacy into the existing Fedora infrastructure. What does this involve? * Plague instance for Legacy. - Building of RHL7.3/9 packages(?), FC1->3 * CVS tree to use - copies of current FC (and RHL?) trees to commit changes to - Support in account system for ACLs * Publishing software - Currently we push to download.fedoralegacy.org in our own tree format. We should push to download.fedora.redhat.com and use the real mirror system - Sign+Push software and users. A few people know the Legacy key and could push. Some of these can be done in stages. Currently we don't use CVS to manage our changes (ick) but we could get a Plague instance up and running prior to having CVS, and that could be added later. Likewise we could continue to hand sign/push our packages to our current mirror structure before moving into download.fedora space. There are some questionmarks regarding RHL support. Personally I would really like to see Legacy's support of RHL die with FC6 Test2. Then we would only have to worry about building FC3+FC4 packages in the Legacy space. This would make it much easier for CVS, for the build system, for the publishing tool, etc... However there is bound to be resistance to dropping said support. However, we could also keep that separate. Continue to support RHL through our existing build system, while we move the FC support to the Fedora infrastructure. Lots of options there, and headaches there. Anyway, I'd like a clear Go Ahead from the Board to start talking to the folks necessary to make these things happen.
