I forgot to add: The following roadmap would help other get started with building and using rpms, as well as hosting their own rpm repositories.
Once that much is in place, I intend to: - Get the latest illumos built and running - I'm personally interested in the sparse zone support that Joyent have added (to at least their fork at github). - Set up a Continuous Integration (CI) environment. Since I work at Thoughtworks as a full time build admin, I'll be applying those skills for us to have a true CI system (hopefully making it a Continous Delivery system someday). I didn't mention these earlier, since my whole focus for the past month has been to an end - to end workflow for rpm5 + smart in place. Once the above are in place, we'd be in a position to do other interesting things like: - a massive CI system for every package - a web based spec file contribution and maintenance system. - try out path64 across the various packages that we support and work with pathscale to improve support for Belenix stuff. These are just some of the things that I wish to try out. There could be other things and other intersting alternatives too :) -- Sriram On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 11:33 PM, Sriram Narayanan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone: > > A colleague at work is interested in contributing to Belenix and asked > me about the roadmap.
