Notes (draft)
For the Fedora Base Module
- Target 50MB on disk
- Create pagure repo for experimentation with specs and rpms
- COPR build repo
- Specific changes proposed to and ratified by FESCo (FPC?)
- Proven packagers to make changes to all affected packages in Rawhide
- Monitor changes to packages to ensure no “growth”
For the Tooling and Guidelines and Beyond
- Should include members of Fedora Rel-Eng and Fedora Security Team
- Phase 1 (Roughly until F24 release)
- Figures out what a “module” actually is in practice
- Required stakeholders
- Fedora Release Engineering
- Fedora Security Team
- Creates whatever tools needed to produce and use modules
- using existing tooling and systems where possible
- rely on Fedora Release Engineering for changes to infrastructure where required
- Fedora Infrastructure may also need changes
- Defines & creates demo modules other than base
- Phase 2 (F25 timeframe)
- Defines guidelines for module definition
- Approved and ratified by FeSCO
- Changes to packaging guidelines as needed
- Approved and ratified by FPC
- Module definition storage and hosting
- relies on implementation by Fedora Release Engineering
- CI infrastructure for modules, relies on work by
- Fedora Infrastructure
- Fedora QA
- Fedora Release Engineering
- Minimization effort
- Will file FESCo ticket for proven packager work around weak dependencies as "general cleanup to a lot of packages" under the proven packager guidelines.
- Defines guidelines for module definition
- Phase 3 (ongoing)
- After all this is done, become some sort of Fedora Module Guidelines Committee in parallel with (or as part of) FPC
- Actually, parallel to Phase 1 & 2
