Do other people feel that they would like their packages to go into a rolling-release style repository that targets the "core OS" rather than what we have currently? The way I see this working is sorta like this: release has less packages than it currently does. I don't know if the criteria for being in the release tree would be "anything on a spin" or "things in critical path" or some new definition. updates and updates-testing is for updates to the release F-12-rolling and F-12-rolling-testing are rolling releases built to be compatible with that release tree. This is very similar to the Core/Extras split of old. However, what is not split is: the package VCS, bugzilla, build infrastructure and supporting tools (bodhi, pkgdb, etc). To me, this keeps the major benefits of the Core Extras merge but defines a difference between the two streams where the users interact with them. (Note: I can already see potential areas where this is not as flexible as having two separate streams (as adamw says Mandriva does) -- for instance, ComaintainerA wants to define Foo as part of Core while CoMaintainerB wants to define Foo as part of Rolling. I don't know if that's an issue in practice or if this is a good-enough solution. -Toshio
