There are some differences of opinion on some of these things - I'd like to hear developer opinions (especially judd) on the following topics, so we can get a few of these things out of the way: ** -$ARCH package name suffix - do we want this? How should we handle backwards compatability if we do move to this scheme? ** SHA1 vs MD5 - opinions/views on this? I know frugalware seems to like sha1, but md5 is the defacto file-validation mechanism (if only for checking if the download is uncorrupted). As Juergen brought up on the arch-dev ML: md5 may be easy to collide when dealing with something like ps files that contain hidden data, but binary files, like .gz files, are very difficult to find collisions for. ** Version number - Frugalware is currently at 3.4.X, while we haven't released a single 3.0 release - how should we handle this? Jump right into 3.5 ? ** Anything else? I'd like to hear any outstanding issues the Frugalware peeps have. Thanks, Aaron
