What do we do when the GNOME project starts releasing GNOME OS installer ISOs if they happen not to be based on ostree for some reason? Wouldn't we want to use the http://gnome.org/3.10 id for that rather than having something else use that? > So your whole point is now > mute as I already made changes to my patches that do take this > difference in account as much as it needs to be right now. My initial point still stands, it's just weird to have http://gnome.org/3.6 be a fedora-based live cd, http://gnome.org/3.8 be a fedora-based live cd, and then have http://gnome.org/3.10 become something ostree based, and hypothetical future fedora-based live cds become http://gnome.org/something/3.10. As the GNOME project for now tends to use different projects as a basis for its ISOs/images, let's keep everything nicely separated as this is more future-proof imo: http://gnome.org/ostree/3.10 for these ostree images http://gnome.org/live/3.10 if there are fedora-based live cds again Christophe
