Re: [Linuxcoe-devel] Update on packaging

[Mayes, L. <lee...@hp...>]

While we certainly could script something to create the virgin images, I'm =
leaning more towards just documenting the process, as it varies quite wildl=
y between distros, and even some between versions of the same distro.  Sinc=
e we'll have tarballs of the images available publicly, that should do for =
all but the most paranoid, and as long as we give them the recipe to create=
 their own, I think that's sufficient.

I'll be happy to write up the processes.  Thoughts?

I don't see a reason to check in binary data that we do not produce/compile=
 ourselves.  We should checkin what is used to produce those images (i.e. s=
cripts) but the the end product itself.

This is why the generation script is important in my mind and needs to be a=
ddressed asap. I'm off monday to finalize the .spec files and hopefully sta=
rt on this one.

Stay tuned,
