So in todays (2014-08-29) meeting, we wanted to move the various policy discussions to email so that people could take their time to reply and also to allow for people who could not attend time to respond.
I would like to start with the EpSCO governance to just get that out of the way and then move to current rules as we see them. I can act as secretary to make sure that changes discussed here are put in place on the wiki or other places.
Policy questions
- How many repos? (examples below)
- epel,
- epel-rolling
- epel-edge ?
- What would faster moving mean?
- Would packages in this be able to conflict with epel packages? Base packages?
- When would incompatible changes be allowed in each branch?
- Different guidelines for specs/packages per branch?
- When would a package be expired or removed?
- What are the rules for EPEL packages currently?
- Currently packages require of 2 weeks in EPEL-testing before promotion to EPEL.
- Can this be changed to 1 week?
- What Constant Integration would be needed to give auto-karma?
- How to integrate packages shepherded by CentOS (or other SIGS) which may conflict with EPEL packages?
