I was surprised myself. Oh come on, you were even talking during the discussion. >From #fedora-meeting: Nov 09 13:43:08 --- zodbot_ has changed the topic to: Fedora 13 (Meeting topic: Fedora Release Engineering) Nov 09 13:43:14 <Oxf13> notting: you had a question? Nov 09 13:43:33 <notting> sure. with respect to no frozen rawhide, should we turn off images for rawhide when we do the -> f13 switch? Nov 09 13:43:43 <Oxf13> notting: that's a great question Nov 09 13:44:55 <Oxf13> on one hand I think we should, as it gets us closer to NFR Nov 09 13:45:04 <Oxf13> on the other hand, I really wonder if we made the best choice there, not making install images Nov 09 13:45:29 <Oxf13> but *shrug* the time for that discussion as before, and in the future, so sure, lets turn off images Nov 09 13:45:50 <Oxf13> I do have one request from anaconda storage team to get a installable tree of F13 content up somewhere, so I can still do that Nov 09 13:46:05 <dgilmore> Oxf13: are we going to work on making nfr happen at fudcon? Nov 09 13:46:09 <notting> Oxf13: ok. that's going to require coordination when we do the switch, as the only way to do that right now is to edit the script Nov 09 13:46:15 <Oxf13> #proposal Disable image creation in F13 rawhide, as part of No Frozen Rawhide Nov 09 13:46:28 <Oxf13> dgilmore: before and at fudcon yes Nov 09 13:46:35 <dgilmore> Oxf13: :) awesome Nov 09 13:46:42 <Oxf13> dgilmore: I'd like to have some planning sessions before fudcon so that we spend more of fudcon doing instead of planning Nov 09 13:46:58 <dgilmore> Oxf13: that sounds sane Nov 09 13:47:09 <notting> Oxf13: above and beyond the next 3 releng meetings? Nov 09 13:47:54 <notting> (i just mean that we can co-opt them for planning if we want) Nov 09 13:47:57 <Oxf13> notting: maybe. I still can't really see over the F12 wall, so I'm not good at this right now Nov 09 13:48:11 <Oxf13> yeah, we'll at least use the releng meetings, but I might call some IRC hackfest sessions Nov 09 13:48:35 <dgilmore> Oxf13: so do we essentially see it as enabling F-13 in bodhi. and pushing out a F-13 tree as well as the rawhide tree? Nov 09 13:48:57 <dgilmore> the f-13 tree having images etc Nov 09 13:49:02 <Oxf13> dgilmore: once we've branched F-13 yes Nov 09 13:49:08 <Oxf13> that branching won't happen until Alpha timeframe Nov 09 13:49:20 <Oxf13> once we branch F-13 for alpha, rawhide moves on to F14 Nov 09 13:49:45 <poelcat> Oxf13: i'll volunteer to help set up planning sessions for FUDCon if you like Nov 09 13:50:09 <Oxf13> poelcat: ok, we can talk. I really want to get F12 out the door though and breath for a day or so Nov 09 13:50:18 <dgilmore> Oxf13: ok. i guess i missed something. since i thought there would be a bodhi controlled f13 stream as soon as we switch nfr on Nov 09 13:50:20 <poelcat> Oxf13: ok, let me know Nov 09 13:50:27 <dgilmore> ill go back and reread the proposal Nov 09 13:50:30 <Oxf13> dgilmore: no, that only happens once we branch Nov 09 13:50:52 <Oxf13> does anybody disagree with enacting the no images in rawhide part of NFR for F13 rawhide? Nov 09 13:51:18 <dgilmore> Oxf13: i dont, because anyone wanting an image can make there own Nov 09 13:51:49 <warren> what kind of images? Nov 09 13:51:54 <Oxf13> install.img Nov 09 13:51:56 <dgilmore> warren: all images Nov 09 13:51:59 <warren> oh Nov 09 13:52:03 <Oxf13> rawhide == just a repo of packages Nov 09 13:53:35 <pjones> by "no images", he means "don't run pungi on it" Nov 09 13:53:48 <Oxf13> yep Nov 09 13:53:57 <Oxf13> hi pjones (: Nov 09 13:54:01 <pjones> hello. Nov 09 13:54:04 <Oxf13> pjones: your still on board with this idea right? Nov 09 13:54:24 <pjones> I don't see a big issue with it; running pungi is easy enough once you drive some policy rules about how to do it into your head. Nov 09 13:54:42 <pjones> (always remove the whole pungi directory ahead of time, etc.) Nov 09 13:55:03 <Oxf13> pjones: wonder if I could make that better by automatically blowing away things unless you pass --no-clean Nov 09 13:55:17 <dgilmore> Oxf13: likely Nov 09 13:55:47 <Oxf13> #agreed F-13 rawhide will be just a repo of packages, as per no frozen rawhide > Since we are changing the way we've been doing things for 12 releases > have we considered getting the word out through some news article and > blogs?
