[OpenIndiana-discuss] New OI /dev release, release structure

[ken mays]

And we need SOME release structure for /dev , made of people willing to 
do that,
*starting with people who last time produced /dev and under their guidance*
(and using latest updates in Hipster, that could be used, without 
breaking dependencies and production process and intoducing new bugs)


For /dev, that was JT-EC and the many contributers to OI_151a that either built
consolidations or tested the distro.

If new /dev (hipster), the hopefully it gets tested as 'good enough' to replace /dev.

Really, there is mainly the testing of userland. SFE is based on backward compatibility so is tested and updates
are done on things that may not work. Are major upstream core consolidations are compiled on hipster as the base distro.

So, hipster is about as 'production-ready' as oi_151a9. If not, time to focus on providing feedback.

It would imply that OI servers have automatic updates turned on and that 
is not exactly the case I think.

It would imply that we need reviving producing /dev releases, because 
updating to Hipster and rolling-release model is not for production 
ready quality, and/or not working/not caring about updating from /dev. 
(Manpower, manpower manpower)

Maybe on one hand OI need a funding place where anyone wanting something 
could chop in some cash so it could be spent on something important, 
infrastructure, etc.

And we need SOME release structure for /dev , made of people willing to 
do that,
