This is a strawman based on my understanding of current abilities,
available software/systems, and of what the developers want. Please
poke holes, reorder, add and subtract, etc.
Phase I
1. F22 trees built nightly (already happening)
2. Images built from those nightly (I think right now only rawhide?)
3. Images go through automated tests, automatically (tunir; not fully
automatic yet, right?)
4. Every two weeks, latest image to pass those tests gets linked
on atomic.fpo, again all automatically (NEEDS DESIGN AND CODE)
- probably need a manual override
- page will present these images with appropriate setting of
expectations ("fedora qa not to blame for anything here").
- need something to happen if there aren't any that pass for
two weeks, which should not happen I hope, but, y'know)
* automatic message about image being out of date
* next successful image automatically posted? Or do we
skip two weeks?
- also needs: commitment to follow and fix if things break
Phase II
5. Ability to include packages from a side tag, repo, something.
All full, legit Fedora packages destined for main repo but maybe at
a different speed. (Implementation needs work)
- possibly initially just selected packages from updates-testing?
Phase III
6. Something to only expose Atomic users to _update sets_ that pass the
tests (because, hey, we have tests!)
7. Presumably, there will be a switch to F23 as base at F23 release;
will there be overlap (beta images) to make that smooth?
8. What else?
Phase IV
9. Expand tests beyond tunir — test installs on hardware, etc.
10. Maybe create a new, special Fedora repository for packages
with version skew mainline Fedora — e.g. newer systemd
or hold older Docker version for some reasons. (Up for
discussion — that's why this is in phase 3!)
11. More what else?
Does this seem basically sane and in line with what people are
expecting? What's missing? What's extra? What's just wrong? :)
