I was under the impression that glusterfs would be automatically carried
forward from f17 into f18, as it apparently was from f16 into f17.
It will be carried forward but a major change of features and
enhancements is worth doing a feature page to advertise the feature
improvements (see the gnome feature page as an example[1] ), it's
something for marketing to use and allows you to also detail things
like the removal or merge of HekaFS.
F18 builds (of 3.2.6) are already available in koji. Until now I
haven't
heard that a feature page is needed for 3.2.x (or 3.3.x) to be included in
f18. (But how to deprecate HekaFS on f18 once the glusterfs-3.3.0 build is
available.)
See above for feature page details. For deprecate HekaFS you add the
the appropriate obsoletes/provides as necessary to the gluster package
and follow the process for removing/obsoleteing a package in the wiki.
The features that are in HekaFS (in f16 and f17) will get merged
into
glusterfs-3.3.1+, as I indicated previously, but I won't promise how many of
them will be there when f18 ships. We certainly hope that all of them will
be, but we aren't making any promises.
So that's something that can be documented in a feature page in the
wiki and updated as things progress through both the gluster devel
process and the fedora release process :)
