let's welcome wookey
he's talking about infrastructure updates
and whether we can change anything in less than two years
i hope so
wookie: ok, can everybody hear me?
well, so, thank you for coming back after dinner not just going back to the pub
i'm impressed by your enthusiasm
so, yes
we have this interesting problem
that it's quite hard to change things quickly in Debian
now we already knew that
but i just want to talk a little bit about
some experience i've had in
last few years trying to change a particular thing
which has not gone particularly well
i would love to think we could have been a bit better
so i really do want to talk about the general problem here of
the way our infrastructure work and how if we miss a stable release
that can be a real problem
but i shall use this example
of build profiles just because that's happened recently
and i think it illustrates the point
or at least some points
I'd very much like to discuss things rather than blither on for too long
so I try not to blither on for too long
so
just to clarfiy
in case anybody is not clear
all of our infrastructure basically runs on stable
there are a few exceptions to that
for practical reasons
so if it is not in stable, you cannot use it in the infrastructure
so there are ??
