Deadlines for Fedora 11 spins ?

[John Poelstra]

Feature freeze is coming soon on 2009-03-03.  At that date I think we 
said all spins had to have spins pages submitted and approved or they 
wait for Fedora 12.

So far, we don't have any that I can tell looking at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Spins_Fedora_11

I haven't seen any minutes from the meeting on Monday, February 16, 
2009, so I'm not sure if any of the spins in 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Spins_Ready_For_SIG were 
approved for the Fedora 11 or not.

The only other spin waiting for my review is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AOS_Spin but the ISO names say Fedora-10 
so I added a comment to the discussion page and put it back to to 
Category:Incomplete_Spin.

I've forgotten to move the XFCE spin page to that category, so I've done 
so now. Since this is recurring release for this spin, it has been 
previously approved by the Board.

We could not approve the Education Spin because it uses exotic %packages 
options. So far, I've been able to confirm that using --instLangs more 
then once, in kickstarts inheriting the kickstart for this spin 
(localized spins for example), so that lifts my concern regarding this spin.

The AOS spin should be able to walk through the process neatly, it has 
been previously approved and I haven't seen that much changes to the 
kickstart (last change was November 30th 2008, by me).

I have updated the Wiki page for F-11 and will follow this email with 
patches for the ks file.

I think it would be better to have snippets/aos-base-pkgs.ks have a complete

%packages --options
%end

section, so that it can just be included (on other spins)

The fedora-aos.ks would then have:

-%packages --excludedocs --nobase --instLang=en
+%include snippets/aos-base-pkgs.ks
-%end

Let me know if it makes sense what I'm saying.

Kind regards,

The reasoning behind this approach was so that others can extend the the 
base package set in a custom kicksstart file for a new appliance ie. 
build on what we have, something like this...

%packages --excludedocs --nobase --instLang=en
%include snippets/aos-base-pkgs.ks
+additional packages
+some may be form other repos
-maybe even take something out
%end
