imho this is a non issue for this release because: * A discussion has just started on bigtop-dev mailing list about that question. * We don't have any build slaves yet, so no convenience artifacts built from Apache. So no overlap or conflict can happen today * This release is focused on getting the Apache release process right And we intend to release often. So we can resolve that issue as soon as the discussion around that matter is resolved
But what is wrong with the overlap? These are just non-mutually exclusive separate efforts. And both are based on the very same unpatched bits. Whether the artifact come from projects themselves or BigTop, they are installed as a conscious decision by a user. So if there is an overlap this would happen only as the result of explicit actions made by a user (ex: installing both repository at the same time). They would also be aware of using BigTop artifacts because repository should make an explicit mention about that (and would also very likely named something like "BigTop-<BigTop_version>") On 08/22/2011 01:00 PM, Eric Yang wrote: > -1 non-binding, the package generation spec file are currently producing > package name without reference to bigtop.
