I was not at meetup but that's not my conclusion from the notes in
etherpad https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO_Vancouver
Rich, do you have an usable voice recording of the meetup or more
detailed notes?
Since I was the one talking during this part of the meeting, I'll give
my recollection...
We didn't discuss Fedora dist-git specifically afair. If getting out of
Fedora and just being "on Fedora" requires us to not use Fedora
dist-git, then I agree that could be problematic unless we have a proper
replacement.
Ideally if we could somehow continue to use dist-git and other Fedora
infrastructure for some things, but not publish the OpenStack packages
directly in Fedora official release, that would be ideal.
To be clear, I have no issues with Fedora (I love it and use it every
day), but tying a single release of OpenStack to a single point release
of Fedora (like "Kilo on Fedora 22 vs. Juno on Fedora 21") doesn't make
a lot of sense.
What makes more sense is to say that we focus in RDO on:
* Providing the latest stable OpenStack (Kilo right now) on top of
whatever the latest Fedora is (Fedora 22 as of yesterday)
* Providing the latest in development OpenStack (Liberty) on top of
whatever the latest Fedora is (F22)
And as Fedora rolls forward to F23, so would our efforts. And as
OpenStack releases Liberty, we'd stop updating Kilo packages and focus
on Liberty for stable and 'M' for development.
So... Can we use Fedora but somehow just not include the OpenStack core
packages in Fedora proper?
Matt, what are your thoughts?
Before the meetup I did add few lines at the bottom of == Packaging
==
section regarding RDO==Delorean, but I didn't see any comments.
We cannot say RDO==Delorean and github/openstack-packages rpm-<branch>
are not enough to be used as dist-git.

We did not drop anything, yet, until we have alternative home for dist-git.
+1
It was just a proposal to start further discussion on list... which is
happening now, so that's great :)

Until we have dist-git ready in git.centos.org please do open Fedora
review requests so we can have dist-git for them.
Cheers,
