Formaline:
* Formaline seems very slow, we suspect this to be due to either larger
files being added to tarballs and/or Roland's change that circumvents
gits internal caching
* suggested solutions include undoing the commit and trying to work
around file systems that do not support hard links as well as
tighter integration of Formaline with the flesh make targets to
start Formaline's processing early
* Formaline misses adding Makefile to the tarball, a workaround is to
tar up the flesh repo directly by first de-referencing Makefile (if
it is a symbolic link), then including the directory containing that
file in the tarball. This should work for common situationsHaving a moving release branch: * Roland had suggested having a moving release branch so that eg websites could refer to that branch rather than having to be updated after each release, the hope is also to offer a simpler update path than "wipe your old Cactus tree and download a new one" * a suggestion is to only have such a branch in the manifest repo and nowhere else * Ian dislikes the idea of a moving branch since he fears it will interact badly with git pull * Erik points out that git pull will report conflicts if the release branch jumps from one release to the next and suggests to use a tag instead, Roland thinks this will not happen and will test this with locally and report back * having a simpler way to point to the current release is agreed to be nice but no simple way to achieve this seems obvious -- My email is as private as my paper mail.
