I just noticed and read this a little closer... and looked a the meeting
minutes which were... sparse.
This feature involves Fedora actually producing and distributing
something we've never done before, a tarred image for use in a virtual
machine. That's not your typical "spin" which is an iso format to be
consumed by booting it on hardware, real or fake. Was any thought or
discussion at all put into the implications of this? Was releng
consulted about our ability to produce/test this during development
cycles, particularly Beta? Do we have any thought as to how this would
be advertised to users, and any documentation about how to use it as
well?
Could FESCo maybe take another gander at this feature page and comment
on some of the above issues?
I messed up here I missed "Requires hosting a binary image on
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/"; from what I remembered it was providing tools
to create appliances. not us actually providing appliance images. since
appliances are specialised configured things its really hard to provide a
single appliance. I personally have no issue with hosting appliance
kickstart files. but i think we need to review hosting a binary appliance
image
Dennis:
In this case the "appliance" is a running system with the bare number of
packages. It is just delivered as a raw disk as opposed to an ISO.
Again, I will make sure to be online for the meeting so we can discuss.
