And remove the "experimental" adjective from pkgbase. MFC after: 3 days
Diff Detail
Event TimelineComment Actions I'm a bit uneasy about (a) removing the (Experimental) from pkgbase (b) adding the (Legacy) to Dist Sets when pkgbase is currently not fit for release whilst distribution sets are tried and tested. So this feels more aspirational than truthful, but I also understand the objective of the release is to do pkgbase... I just think we need to be very careful not to push pkgbase on our users too hard until we are truly willing to support it in the form they will be installing. I think doing so before we have metapackages integrated into bsdinstall, in particular, is premature. Cc @ivy
Comment Actions Fair point. I'd like to make this change before 15.0-RELEASE but I'll hold off for now. Comment Actions i don't have a strong opinion on the wording here, but i tend to agree that we should steer users towards dist sets by default for 15.0. as long as we support both, we can always reevaluate for 15.1 if the tooling has improved. Comment Actions I'd prefer to steer users towards pkgbase for 15.0 rather than 15.1. People expect a .0 release to have rough edges; they don't expect that from a .1 release so I'd like to make sure all the problems get discovered in 15.0. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
