[Base] Fedora Base Design Working Group (2014-07-11) meeting minutes and logs

[Phil Knirsch]

Summary:

  - moben aka Benekdit Morbach presented some of his first results of 
builreq analysis and wrote a tool for that[1]. Will work with haraldh, 
vpavlin and others on related topics.
  - Talked with Michal Sekletar and accepted him as a WG member. His 
focus is docker and container technologies.
  - Vaclav Pavlin demonstrated the latest Fedora 20 based docker images, 
only 133MB in size[2] generated via a kickstart file[3]

Lively discussion around docker, anaconda and rel-eng followed those 
docker focus topics.

Mattdm then followed with 2 1/2 additional topics:

1a. Identifying different Fedora products -- fedora-release-* contents 
and /etc/os-release
1b. having tools like yum and dnf talk to mirror manager in a way which 
lets us count product installs
2. a "generic fedora" netinstall

For 1a and 1b dgilmore, sgallagh and mattdm have already done a larger 
thread on fedora-devel ML to discuss the proper approach and solution. 
Several ideas already in place, just need to be implemented(tm).

Some more discussions past that about 2. and related items (install 
trees vs. images etc).
