Re: Distribution
Hallo Ian Jackson!
}So, what we're left with, if you agree with my release strategy, is:
}
} released -> debian-0.93
} debian-0.93/binary [ bugfixes and urgent releases only ]
} source
} ms-dos
} Packages -> binary/Packages
} disks
So bugfixes et cetera still go into a released release (eh published
release). So we run into the great slackware problem that there are
tons of version 2.2 (as an example).
I don't agree to that. What about the following:
released -> debian-0.93
debian-0.93/binary
source
ms-dos
Packages -> binary/Packages
disks
updates/binary [ bugfixes and urgent releases only ]
source
ms-dos
Packages -> binary/Packages
disks
Then it's a static Debian GNU/Linux 0.93R6 for say half a year. Only
some updates will go into the updates directory. Users who download
0.93R6 once won't have to check for everything if they want to have a
problemless release. They can look at the updates dir. And cdrom
vendors don't have the problem that their just pressed cd is outdated
just by publishing it.
What about 1.0? Ian Murdock told us that it will be fully ELF, so we
all have to creat ELF packages?
} doc/ [ Shouldn't we merge doc/, info/ and some
} info/ of project/ ? ]
yes!
}Does this seem good to people ?
Partially
Gruesse,
Joey
