Fedora Extras Steering Committee

27 October 2005

Package purging. Seth hasn't had a chance to look at, will get to before next week
Account expiration. Still awaiting update from Colin
Sponsorship. Jeremy notes that having more regular runs of Elliot's metrics would help a ton in this.
Elliot says the networking for fedora stuff is about to be changing and we'll be able to start doing logins for build machines, etc. More to come in the future.
Long discussion about Legacy and use of fedora systems. Greg will take to the Foundation board
Kernel module packaging proposal
General direction is good
File list. Jeremy feels we shouldn't paper over rpm bugs with spec magic and commits some time to looking at the rpm bug (#158577)
Targeting right now >= devel (FC5). Once we have things working, we'll look at backporting necessary pieces to FC4-updates
Use of ExclusiveArch for architectures seems reasonable
Creation of debuginfo packages. Might make sense to create a convenience macro. Probably needs to be in redhat-rpm-config if so
Thomas asked about parallel install of kernel-devel stuff. Jeremy thinks this is fine, if not, file a bug and cc him.
SRPM naming... having one SRPM per kernel version is no fun for mirror space, but probably the right thing to do.
Requirement between userspace and kmod can probably just be version based.
thl will update based on feedback and we'll try to get some closure. Jeremy is going to talk with davej about it.
