## Notes

### Naming
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Jim: need to sell the sanity aspect in light of new sigs
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Jim: not a fan of cute names
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Karsten: names are memorable
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Mike: the names don’t have to be cute
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Ralph: don’t want the name to be too long. dates are good/practical
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Carl: need to avoid fragmentation. no names per variants
|
|
|
7936f7 |
KB: Year and month is enough. It takes days to get content on the mirrors
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Mike: let’s enumerate the different classes of sigs/variants and think about how naming should work in each case
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Mike: we want to avoid giving the appearance of EUS-type support
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Fabian: consider chef/puppet variables
|
|
|
7936f7 |
could break various puppet modules/etc
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Karsten: can we provide major/minor number where necessary without using it at top level?
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Jim/KB: vendor validation
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Jim: too drastic a change too fast could cause a user revolt
|
|
|
7936f7 |
KB: just drop the subrelease altogether. E.g. centos-6-atomic
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Karsten: need to really think about how we will present this to the community
|
|
|
7936f7 |
folks will point out holes in plan
|
|
|
7936f7 |
we’ll have an iterative process
|
|
|
7936f7 |
KB: let’s take the rest of this offline/email
|
|
|
7936f7 |
### A wild Johnny appears!
|
|
|
7936f7 |
### Export stuff
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Karsten: the laws are complex, but we need a simple policy
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Karsten: software contributions imply access to software, which may be prohibited
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Karsten: we’re not here to take a political stance
|
|
|
7936f7 |
let’s not let folks force us into taking one
|
|
|
7936f7 |
people should not be using us to make a political statement
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Jim: some details about Fedora’s approach
|
|
|
7936f7 |
KB: a lot of people in Iran use Centos
|
|
|
7936f7 |
users may be deliberately trying to push the boundaries
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Carl: we don’t have to be police, just state the facts (in a nice way)
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Jim: they can always get it from kernel.org
|
|
|
7936f7 |
Fabian: what / how do we communicate mirror requests
|
|
|
7936f7 |
needs wording up
|
|
|
7936f7 |
ToDO: firewall off content from mirror-?.centos.org ( the ones hosted at redhat )
|
|
|
7936f7 |
desireable to have elsewhere, but not essential
|
|
|
7936f7 |
ToDo: add notes to rsync header, mirrorlist node to say content is not acceptable for use in some areas
|
|
|
7936f7 |
