Discussion
Mac OS X Packaging
- Foundation does not yet have a signing key or liability insurance
- But, would like to get something out the door prior to XMas
- Pre-release of packaging
- Work with Evan MacBeth and Brandon Allbery on what to submit, initially, and how
- Initial pre-release may simply be binary signed by Sine Nomine
Gatekeepers / Release Managers
- Discussion with Michale Meffie to bring the Board up to speed on what's what and who is who
- Also talked online separately with Ben Kaduk to glean some information
- Board wants to make sure we have people doing what needs to be done.
- Board would also like to make these official voted on positions, eventually going the paid position route
- Skill level is important
- Familiarity and a deep understanding of OpenAFS (code base) is important
- Hours can range depending on progress
- Including a technical leadership position
- Gerrit was set up and administrated by SxW
- Don't know who administrates Gerrit currently
- Ben K can restart gerrit if it dies
- Merging code requires a password key
- Current Gatekeepers (those with merge access, not necessarily those who still consider themselves Gatekeepers)
- Have the final say on what goes in
- Need familiarity with OpenAFS code
- Master
- Andrew Deason
- Ben Kaduk (targeting an eventual 1.8 branch)
- Daria Brashear
- Jeffrey Altman
- 1.6 Branch (Release Managers - those who can merge a specific branch)
- Andrew Deason
- Paul Smeddle
- Stephen Wiesand
- Status of branches
- 1.6 is mostly fine (though, no one specifically looking at Mac)
- Master needs more people
- Windows is its own kettle of fish
- Code submission process
- Code submitted to Gerrit
- Code reviewed by at least 2 people (may include Gatekeeper/Release Manager)
- After approval by 2, Gatekeeper/Release Manager merges code, if decided that this is what goes in
Future TODO
- Security officers
- Questions for the lawyer
- Get out a plan for specific funding goals
- Mac Packaging
