Each package would be its own module, and each fedora release would be represented by a real branch in the git module. We'd have a userland tool, as part of fedora-packager, that would allow simple commands to clone the module (and get master, which would build things for rawhide), or clone the module and all its release branches and construct a directory layout much like dist-cvs is today. Build commands would be part of fedora-packager, not makefiles in every module. Decisions on where to build the package would be based on what branch is being built from, programatically so that we don't have to keep updating some file somewhere to figure it out. Maintainers would not tag themselves, as the buildsystem would build from git hashsums, and only successful builds would have a human readable tag applied to a given hashsum, and that would be done by the build system. There would be no need to translate %dist values on the local user's system. That's what I got so far, I'm hoping to walk through a typical scenario with folks at FUDCon to see how well my plan stands up. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
