Hi all,

after reading Warrens drafts and the answers I'm getting the impressions
that this projects start way to complicated. Let us just follow the KISS
principle (keep it simple stupid). As Fedora-Legacy only exists to
handle security updates and is not intended to introduce new features to
EOLed distributions we should really focus on the essentials. For me
this means NO rpm upgrades. Just use the infrastructure and tools that
Red Hat gave us with their distributions.

Updated packages should primarily be available via HTTP/FTP. Progeny
also will focus on HTTP first. If someone can provide RSYNC, APT or YUM
repositories later this would be fine but it is not needed in the first
place.

Personally I can offer to do package QA testing and bug reporting. I
have access to RH 7.2/7.3/8.0 test servers and already do a little bit
QA on some of the fedora.us packages.

How shall we handle security alert notification to the developers? Can
we expect that everyone monitors all major (open) security mailing lists
? At least I do so.

BTW: There seems to be a security update available for CVS:

Best regards.
