My 2EU cents... So, I've invested the time in reading throughout this post, I am a bit overwhelmed.
David, you have no idea how much I appreciate this sort of forward thinking that I'd like to see more. My personal suggestion is to join the linux culture, and engage in serious discussion with other distros ASAP to learn of their policies and how they tackled issues answering to both community and commercial "customers". At leas we won't start from scratch, and we should in no way do, as this is open source world, where we can stand on shoulders of others. Speaking with ubuntu-universe people together with the PPA notion that you noted, could be a great start. I'm sure we'd find great insight into our concerns and we could adopt them to our situation, just as such with SLES/Opensuse, and also I propose we talk to Erik Troan of rPath[0] to gain more insight into package management that will help us solve some of the differences between surrounds and core as you mentioned throughout their version evolution. (Back in 2006, Erik was invited to UDS-Paris to discuss multitude of things not limited to but also package management, repositories and community, this is how I met him) Again my personal 2 cents perhaps naively believing meego is unique, but not unique enough to reinvent so many wheels, I apologize if this shows lack of knowledge of the project essence, but I have't yet gotten to it and will gladly stand corrected! :-)) -Sivan [0]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPath#History On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 3:31 AM, David Greaves <da...@dgreaves.com> wrote: <one big snip>. _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list MeeGo-community@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
