1) Legacy maintainers need to prepare a package or set of

preparation
need to be planned and executed.
I'm pretty sure FC4 repos already exist on
download.fedoralegacy.org, we just
need to populate them with a yum-config package.
Cool, I'll start a bugzilla entry for this and post an update to the
FC3 yum-conf package for FC4.
4) Has the community reached any kind of consensus on the
issues of
potentially retiring Red Hat Linux 7.3, Red Hat Linux 9,
Fedora Core
1, Fedora Core 2?
The best plan I heard thus far was to phase out FC1 and 2 at the
proper time
(when FC6 reaches test2 and we get FC4), but give RHL 6~ months to
get moved
to something better.
I'm all for leaving behind as much as possible as soon as possible.
After seeing absolutely no response to David's "Status of bugs in the
queue" message, I am even more convinced that there is a serious lack
of interest in maintaining packages. Six months should be plenty of
time for those to migrate away from the older RH releases.
5) Are there other items, either of a technical or political
nature we
need to do before we become the stewards of Fedora Core 4's
security
and critical bug fix updates?
I don't know. Community?
On the technical side, I need to get plague/mock setup for FC4 since
we're still waiting on an "integrated" Fedora solution. I can
probably get this done over the weekend. I assume Jesse or someone
will be taking care of transferring bugzilla stuff over to legacy.
I will likely not be available the rest of this week, and next
Monday and
Tuesday are holiday evenings in the United States of America.
Shall we
shoot for an meeting on IRC mid-week next week? If we meet on
Wednesday,
July 7th, that will leave us 12 calendar days to get stuff done
between
that meeting and the time we are due to inherit Fedora Core 4.
WORKSFORME
Trying to setup a time is a nightmare though. Lets start the
bidding at 14:00
UTC (which is 10:00am Eastern Daylight Time, otherwise known as Red
Hat
standard time (: )
That time wouldn't work for me. If the meeting will be during the
week, then I could make it only after 4pm eastern time. Of course,
don't change the time just for me - I think I've already made my
views clear about dropping support for the older releases, so if it
comes to a vote, count me for dropping them ASAP.
David, thanks for the constant prodding about this stuff; I think
it's been needed :)
