Hello all,
My name is Eduardo and I'll be helping co-maintaining the cloud-init package for
Fedora.
I've been working with QEMU/KVM since 2011. In 2013 I became the maintainer of
the seccomp subsystem in QEMU. In mid-2017 I joined Red Hat to support RHEL in
different clouds (Hyper-V, Xen, etc) and supporting cloud-init on RHEL is now
part of my job as well.
I've been reading the "Join the package collection maintainers" wiki page
and
it's been good so far :) except for a tiny question about the process for
cloud-init package: How exactly do we decide things like rebase from upstream or
release dates? I didn't find any specific cloud-init mailing list here[0], or
anything relevant on the #cloud-init channel at Freenode.
Usually there isn't any policy around how/when specific packages are
updated in Fedora, it's up to the discretion of the maintainers. Some
people push latest versions of their packages to every stable Fedora
branch, others only rebase in rawhide, and everything in between. So I
suggest talking to your co-maintainers about how they've done things,
and go from there
The main thing I'd think is to not rebase cloud-init too late into a
Fedora dev cycle, so there's plenty of time to ensure the cloud images
are in good shape (I don't know if the cloud images are ever regenerated
after Fedora GA release). But I know very little about cloud-init...
maybe it releases all the time, maybe it doesn't regress much, etc.
