Hi Toshio!
Is there any interest in including Fedora Legacy in this process? We, too, are moving to using CVS or some kind of package versioning system in our maintenance work with Fedora Legacy packages.
Greetings David,
Warren was the initial person pulling together ideas for this and is probably still the man in the know for policy decisions.
Jesse has been listening in from time to time as well, though, so he might already have had a say on how Legacy works in with this.
One of the questions I had was whether this VCS would just be for Extras or would include Core as well. It is definitely for Core + Extras (One of the reasons that enhanced ACLs are important here). So I think it's sensible for Legacy to be a part of this as well.
Are you planning on having the main discussion about these VC Systems in the Fedora-Maintainers list?
I was planning on having the discussion on infrastructure list as it seemed to be a project already underway and handed over to infrastructure to write a few prototypes and get a feel for how the different version control systems mapped to our requirements. If there's more requirements to be defined then I suppose it should be discussed with a broader audience. warren would be a better person to discuss that portion, though.
It's also possible to write the prototypes based on the present requirements and then ask for additional feedback as to what more is needed.

Note: I'm about to go MIA for half a week because we've bought a house and are moving between tonight and July Fifth.

Oops. It looks like the VCS will be evaluated to combine Core and Extras but it isn't a definite go ahead item. So I don't know how you legacy folks want to proceed. Maybe look over the ideas and make suggestions and depending on how things work out make a decision on whether to integrate into what we setup or spin it off into your own thing?

We'll want to use the same system as Core/Extras, with the idea that when Core comes to Legacy, permissions can be set so that we can use the VCS that Core was using w/out having to copy anything around or change build systems or, or, or...
