Set of notes and action points from the discussions about Community [[Seamless Software Update|SSU]] on #maemo-ssu freenode.
Main participants:
* lcuk
* MohammadAG
* Jaffa
* Venemo
* lma
* x-fade
* rst38h
* crashanddie
and more
== Discussion topics ==
* finding source locations and identifying GOOD patches
* submitting potential patches to a central testing source
* making a new <code>mp-generic*</code> meta package
* discussing with lma about current N8x0 community SSU problems and workarounds and insight
* looking into getting the wiki sorted
** need wiki editor :P
* looking at how to manage the patchsets
** we know the N900 Fremantle system works well using git tags
** the 8x0 patchset currently contains 10 local based quilts
* we need a gitorious group to cover these ''Done: http://gitorious.org/community-ssu''
== Build Sources ==
We must gather together and list the main giturl sources and tags used to build from.
for instance:
http://gitorious.org/modest/modest tag 3.4.8
This allows us to reproduce builds and get source to the same location we build from.

Process

As started being discussed on talk.maemo.org:

  1. Who ultimately owns the CSSU?
    • Council?
  2. How will included improvements be decided?
    • Will there be an inclusive policy - every improvement that someone is willing to work on will be included - or will there be a gatekeeper that will decide what to include?
    • Is the scope limited to improving packages which are included by Nokia in the OS; or should it grow to include "useful" stuff?
    • Should wholesale replacement of apps (such as Media Player) be done with open source, feature- & UI-compatible versions; if available?
  3. How will testing be organised?
    • Positive
    • Negative
    • Regression
    • Installation from scratch
    • Upgrade from previous version
  4. How will it be advertised?
  5. How will it be supported?
    • Bugzilla
    • IRC?
    • Forum
  6. At what point do bugs get set to RESOLVED FIXED? Such as #3700

Technical

  1. How to work out value of Maemo-Required-Free-Space header in mp-fremantle-community-pr?
