Ok, according to the last thread about releasing on saturday i summarize: - most agree with releasing a new iso that just works
- New codename? A new iso will be released in november which contains a new major kernel, which we all agreed earlier this year should trigger a new codename and release/filename.
agreed
At the moment it would mean much work to regenerate the ISOs with only to include a new code name. With entering kernel .23 series we should bump initscripts to a new code name, suggestions are welcome :) one mentioned was Hardcore
+1 for Hardcore
- Release/File name of ISOs? ok here started the confusion, these ISOs will still contain the same major kernel series as in 2007.08 ISOs. There was also a thread about name scheme and we wanted to use -0.x as developer ISOs and [1-9] as release/bugfix versions. According to this it would be logical to use here 2007.08-2 as release/filename we could still use the iso/2007.08 directory on ftp and remove the others directories, see section below.
Maybe I missed it, but what's wrong with 2007.08.2 to follow 2007.08.1?
- Remove of old ISOs and addons? All old ISOs ftp routines are broken. Also every ISO had some kind of itches which now are all fixed, it would make sense to remove all old ISOs and addons from ftp/iso. Addons are not necessary anymore with latest ISOs because most fast enough drivers are now included on the media itself.
-1. We shouldn't go deleting iso's just because they don't work anymore for FTP installs. Nothing would keep a user from installing 0.6 or so even and upgrading to current. We just need to make sure that everything links to the proper places. Dale
