Hi, This came up at the TC meeting today, and I volunteered to provide an update from the discussion.
In general, I think there is a lot of support for a packaging effort in OpenStack. The discussion here has been great; we need to answer a few questions, get some decisions written down, and make sure we have agreement. Here's what we need to know: 1) Is this one or more than one horizontal effort? In other words, do we think the idea of having a single packaging project/team with collaboration among distros is going to work? Or should we look at it more like the deployment projects where we have puppet and chef as top level OpenStack projects? Either way is fine, and regardless, we need to answer the next questions: 2) What's the collaboration plan? How will different distros collaborate with each other, if at all? What things are important to standardize on, what aren't and how do we support them all. 3) What are the plans for repositories and their contents? What repos will be created, and what will be in them. When will new ones be created, and is there any process around that. 4) Who is on the team(s)? Who is interested in the overall effort? Who is signing up for distro-specific work? Who will be the initial PTL? I think if the discussion here can answer those questions, you should update the governance repo change with that information, we can get all the participants to ack that, and the TC will be able to act. Thanks again for driving this. -Jim __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
