Thanks so much for speaking up Faidon. Francesco, I honestly thought you were speaking officially and we would be rejected. When you didn't reply to my email asking "What should I do?" I didn't know what to think...
I won't stir the pot with any more legal discussion. That isn't my field and I'm just parroting what our legal department tells me anyways. I've articulated our position before, so I'll just wait until the legal issue is actually blocking our adoption. Ok? Since my last email, I put a bunch of effort into my packaging script. Now they are signed correctly, there is a main skeleton and then overrides for each version, and it updates the version files for me. Feel free to make pull requests or use this as a basis: https://github.com/hhvm/packaging/tree/master/hhvm/deb Internally at FB we release a new version of HHVM every 2 weeks. We cut the branch on Monday and then do lots of rigorous testing and ship it 10 days later on Thursday morning. I'd like to exactly mirror the internal releases since they are well tested instead of just arbitrarily cutting trunk. Many people voiced opinions that every 2 weeks was too fast for major open source releases so we agreed on mirroring every 4 releases (8 weeks). How does that sound? It is easy to make it faster or slower by 2 week increments if anyone has opinions. Lastly, Laszlo, we should talk about how I can help with packaging. I currently make a new branch for major versions and tags for each point release on our github repo. Do you want me to email you when I do this or can you subscribe to github easily? Or should I setup a mailing list and always email that when I push? I'll probably still have to keep packaging it for other distros since you're only going to do debian, right? Or is there an easy way for you to also do it in other debian-based distros (ubuntu, mint). Can you also do yum based distros or do you know what I should do for inclusion there?
