[ELGIS] Next steps on ELGIS 6

[Adrian Bartel (AR)]

Hi,

 

The changes SL makes vs RHEL appear to be carefully documented in the
release notes for each version, with section something along the lines
of 

 

-          Added compared to Enterprise 6    (things like openafs,
icewm, livecd-tools and some yum-related stuff; mostly not installed
by default)

-          Changed compared to Enterprise 6    (split into branding
changes and patches required for build reasons)

 

Both are pretty short, readable lists, and if one stays away from the
non-default packages and repos, differences from RHEL should be
minimal.

 

Adrian

Hello,
 
here is the plan to finish the setting up of ELGIS 6:
- switch the build platform to Scientific Linux 6.1: SL has been more
predictable than CentOS lately with regard to relase schedule. Thanks
to the base OS stability this should not prevent compatibility with
CentOS 6 and we will strive to maintain it


Are we sure that SL6 will keep binary compatibility with RHEL 6?
CentOS is committed to this even tho' as you say they have been slow
lately getting new releases out. But AFAIK, SL6 allows some non-RHEL
packages into their distro.  Maybe this is not a problem at all. But
perhaps worth checking.

Best regards,
Micha



 
- move the current first batch of core packages to stable
- finish building the other existing ELGIS5 packages (pgRouting etc.)
- update GEOS in testing (contributed by Peter), start new
developments there (PG 9.x? OSSIM?)
 
Comments, objections welcome, as usual.
 
Cheers,
 
Mathieu
