So far in this discussion, as an observer I haven't seen anyone mention |
| 15 |
any "large changes." So far most of this discussion has been about the |
| 16 |
concept. If the end result is a toolset for creating stage4's for |
| 17 |
people, does that need a glep? Did we glep making livecd's the default |
| 18 |
for x86 and a few other platforms (the ones that launch X, not just |
| 19 |
bootable cd's with install tools)? I find a few of the concepts |
| 20 |
intriguing enough to like the project, but since at this stage it isn't |
| 21 |
in a position to be glepable (that's a word, i swear). if it moves |
| 22 |
beyond the discussion phase and has usable stage4 scenarios (maybe it |
| 23 |
does already, i'm just basing this on the thread here) then i think at |
| 24 |
that point discussions should start with releng on whether this |
| 25 |
something that should be made part of the release media cycle - but even |
| 26 |
then, a glep? |
| 27 |

nb. I was dealing with a box today that couldn't be updated for over a |
| 29 |
year and a half. Being able to seed it up to a semi-current state and |
| 30 |
toss a finger towards the ubuntu-fanatics in the office with their "we |
| 31 |
just installed a new cd over the old install and it worked fine" would |
| 32 |
be nice. so maybe i'm already biased in all of this. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
nb2. maybe i'm also missing the point of parts of this discussion. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
nb3. there is no nb3. |
