So, the test2 freeze is coming up in a couple of days, and I'm wondering
if we can talk about a few different things regarding the package
manifest for fc6.
For users, developers, media, etc. I think it would be really useful to
produce a couple of pieces of information somewhere on the wiki (if
they're not already there):
1) New packages in fc6 that were not in fc5
2) Removed packages that were in fc5 but are not in fc6
This will be part of the release notes just like in FC5
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/#sn-PackageChanges
On that second point, when was the last time that we did a review of
packages that could be a candidate for removal? We've had several
suggestions in different lists about trimming down the size of Core.
A few recent discussions
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2006-June/msg00016.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2006-June/msg00038.html
Can we talk about this and act (if that's the decision) prior to fc6?
We basically need a decision on KDE
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnleashKDE) which in turn depends on
Anaconda support for Fedora Extras and availability of Fedora Extras
repository in media.
The larger question is what the focus of Fedora Core should be. Since
Red Hat can use packages from Fedora Extras, whatever fits into RHEL
isnt the decisive factor for Fedora Core anymore. Trimming down Fedora
Core also makes it easier for the community to contribute better.
Hopefully we can discuss on this list today, and have a decision by the
end of tomorrow's Board meeting.
I'll be putting together an agenda for that today -- any suggestions to
get it starting, post it to a thread called "Agenda 2006-07-18" or
something and we'll work from there.
