Hi folks, we need to resolve this. 1-But I have to start with one comment: Apache open office releases binaries, users don't compile from source. So it is possible within ASF to officially release binaries.
2-We have several initiatives around repos, apt-get.eu (Wido), shapeblue repos, Nux mirrors and image templates. Seems everyone agrees we need a tag team to coordinate all of it and offer a unified front. 3-This unified front is great, but it won't happen this week, it will take time and dedication. 4-The small issue we are facing is about 3 lines in an HTML file on our website. Pierre-Luc and I had a chat Friday, in one of his comments on the PR he suggested that we list 3 categories: - source - community repo - 3-rd party repo I am +1 with this, why ? -source is a no brainer - community repo (apt-get) because that's our defacto pkg repo even though we don't vote on packages. There was not vote to say these were our community repo but that's a fact. Several people have access to the machine and can make updates etc... - 3rd party, allows us to list vendor pkg repo. The more vendors provide CloudStack the better. I see it a bit like the "books" discussions we had couple years ago. We do not endorse them, but we should promote them. In our docs however, we should not be referencing 3rd party repos, and any URLs should be cloudstack project specific. Can you please reply with your vote on these 3 categories. I think it's a compromise that helps us move forward. -sebastien On Nov 27, 2015, at 10:41 AM, Daan Hoogland <daan.hoogl...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Nov 27, 2015 at 10:38 AM, Paul Angus <paul.an...@shapeblue.com> > wrote: > >> Doesn't that meant that we'll have to vote on the source and the packaged >> rpms/debs otherwise they we have no official community standing. ? >> > I am not sure how we can give them official standing yet but we are the > apache foundation, so we vote on source.
