<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>HI,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A few notes:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Resolve a few of the 26 bugs reported at: <A href="https://www.illumos.org/projects/openindiana/issues?query_id=5">https://www.illumos.org/projects/openindiana/issues?query_id=5</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Using numbers and letters are OK. So, oi_1.0 works and you can still use lettering for respins as well (i.e. oi_#.#.(a-z)) to utilize a 'major.minor.respin' type notation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Note: Check this against IPS and the distro constructor architecture methodology on package management - naming, updates, and such.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. Respin based on a consensual vote during oi-dev team meetings on IRC and email</DIV>
<DIV>for those absent from meetings (just as a courtesy).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd note that a respin is needed soon to resolve issues with the Nvidia driver, recent illumos_gate issues with ZFS, libusb/gtkam, installer issues, and other minor issues noted in the 'blocking' bug reports. Why? This will migrate us away from the oi_148b respin which had some of the fixes and hopefully successfully migrate us away from oi_147 (which a few people are still using due to the issues with oi_148 and even a few users of the 'illumos live' 64-bit snapshot (Joyent)). I see OpenIndiana as a 'qualitive' distro</DIV>
<DIV>to evaluate and use the projects and technology from legacy OpenSolaris and FOSS streams that can be used in production environments. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Two cents and a biscuit...</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>Hello,<BR><BR>during tonight's meeting the question was raised how to deal<BR>with updates to /dev after the release of oi_151 and before the<BR>stable release. The main questions regarding the update process<BR>are:<BR>* how are updates released to /dev (release an updated package as<BR> soon as it is available or should we have more aggregated<BR> updates)<BR>* in what cases will the live/text installer images be respun<BR> (it was suggested to only generate new images in case the live<BR> image and/or installer are directly affected)<BR>* what naming scheme should be used to distinguish the respins<BR> be distinguished (e.g. dates, numbers, letters)<BR><BR>Any opinions, suggestions on that? Any additional issues?<BR><BR>-- <BR>Guido Berhoerster<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>oi-dev mailing list<BR><A href="http://us.mc1113.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=oi-dev@openindiana.org"
