Outcomes

Version Control
- svn seems to be best known
- git is not favored
- subversion it is
  - http(s):// read only for the world
  - set up subversion to authenticate against LDAP
  - Which persons in LDAP do we allow to commit? (who is in LDAP anyway?)
  - Commit level
    - Start with a relaxed ACL model which can be extended then?
    - Everybody everything but only owner can request build
- Layout of svn
  - We are okay with that.
Build system
- Plague
  - only one spec file, even with different arches and versions
  - Spec files and non-binary sources/patches go into one directory called %{name}
  - Binary sources
    - Webdav with the same ldap_auth as svn?
      - Only put Sources there if they have to be adapted or if the original download location isn't there anymore
      - Otherwise download sources from the net, compare md5/sha1 and build from there.
Keep a ToDo list on the wiki
- For more complicated stuff: Draft a proposal so everyone is on par when we discuss things
Standards for packaging
- Throw together a draft
- Start with driesverachtert/RpmforgeSpecfileSnippets?
LDAP setup on devel
- All four root sudoers can add users and groups to the LDAP setup.
- Web based a/c setup (Dries)
