Great input Kris. We also took a look at Anvil, and as you
mention it is heavily biased for RH based distros.
With regard to your requirements:
1) Under the cover for Giftwrap we use fpm for package creation,
so debs and rpms are merely a flag to toggle.
During the Paris session someone specifically mentioned they didn't
want to use fpm, and wanted plain spec files instead. If that person
is on this list, or if there's anyone else in that position, care to
elaborate? Is there a specific limitation people are concerned about?
We get this request pretty commonly - the most common use case I hear
like this is people who want to start with a "reference" build (RDO /
OSP, UCA, etc) and minimally customize. So they want to stay with the
original spec or debian/* packaging and tweak, vs package de novo
Yes. We do this, and it's much better, than thinking about 'how to split
one neutron to bunch of different packages'. Repackaging is mostly or
bugfixes (hello from havana - we still backporing fixes from
juno/icehouse), or minor changes for own needs (like 'strict host
isolation' filter) - and 'do it from scratch' is too heavy.
