Hello.
Just several thoughts.
1) I look at /hipster as on FreeBSD-current - there should be no specific "RE", but rather internal settlement (e.g. if you know that your changes can break something notify all beforehand, ask feedback and see if anyone cares).

BTW, can someone look through https://github.com/pyhalov/oi-userland/compare/php54-modules ? :)

2) Another question is real RE - i.e. migrating some stuff to /dev (and possibly one day to /stable ...). 3) One more problem is packages which influence build in a specific way - e.g., requires other packages to be rebuilt. It would be nice to catch (using current dependencies machinery or introducing something like "BUILD_DEPENDS/INSTALL_DEPENDS" in userland building scripts).

Folks,

I just want to notice a thing or two from my side that might be
relevant for the OI (hipster).

What I've seen and consider really important is to implement a kind of
release engineering. And here I do not want some complicated process
with many approvals and stuff - rather a sleek and streamlined
(hipster) release management.

I've seen packages breaking builds because of incompatible versions
(e.g. libmemcached bump made myself incompatible with php5.4, or ruby
version breaking other stuff...).

Is it feasible to organise a non-bureaucratic release management
setting the priorities which packages should get updated first and
then possibly check for defects produced by it?

Just a thought - and willing to help with it. Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers, Erol
