= Fedora Release Engineering Meeting :: Monday 2008-06-09 =

Misc Open Topics from F13

 * edited up sign_unsigned and managed to get a lot of speed increase out of it
 * F10 schedule looks okay
 * spam filter plugin going into Fedora hopefully today so that we can try to reduce the spam in our project space even more

Source Control Management (SCM)

 * Solely a requirements gathering phase--no specific SCM will be identified
 * ideas so far of things that would be good to have:
 * script triggers pre/post commit actions
 * able to reliably disseminate commits as they happen to a selected group of people (per package & branch)
 * having acls/multiple owners for things is implied, but might need to be explicit
 * better integration with our environment in general, pkgdb, bodhi, bugzilla, etc..
 * able to clone for disconnected development
 * able to create new branches cheaply
 * exploded source trees and quilt like patch management vs just simple patch files--ideally our new system would allow for both, depending on how the owner of the module decides to do it
 * easy between-branch merging for those who like to ship the same source rpm everywhere
 * not rely on magic 'branch' files for the build & tag-fu to work

Fedora ia64

 * ia64 is almost ready to do an F9 release
 * they need an updated fedora-release package that has their GPG key in it
 * Seth is working on a yum change that will allow a single RPM gpg file hold multiple keys, so that we can just append the ia64 key to the current file.
 * also talking with the yum guys about a possible change to how yum handles gpg files
 * more discussion needed

Hardware Update

 * blade center was installed by mmcgrath last week, and we'll soon have a bunch more builders in koji
