JWe are literally figuring this out as we go along lol
Рyeah sorry I was just wondering, I'm really new to this stuff on top of it being really new
JBut should be fine if layered
Dyes but you need rocm inside flatpak runtime/distrobox container
JThe biggest hurdle is figuring out how to get rocm working at all
JRight, but having the libraries on the host at all is still better than nothing
JIt's like how CUDA is able to work with rootless podman
Dhmm
Di still prefer put rocm inside distrobox container without installing inside host system

JOkay but we still want to enable users to leverage their expensive GPUs and if we're going to support CUDA then we may as well give rocm a chance
M@.jstone might be good to start a discussion for this with proposed repos structure, layouts, purposes, etc
Jyeah can we make this async? I'm busy for the next few days and ideally GH would be best for this
J"mainline" makes me think "this comes with a mainline kernel and not a distro kernel"
Jacked, I upgraded in other repos and it's working fine
Xif "mainline" is called "base" and the current base something like "make-your-own"

As more ublue-os images are added, it's becoming increasingly clear that we should reorganize our images to reduce duplication of work and increase sharing of commonly used packages and pat...
J@.jstone you think we can do the image names by say ... Friday?
JYes
JThe biggest hurdle is less about the technical aspect and more on the minutia of how we want to name this

There are four hard things in computer science:
- Counting
- Cache invalidation
- Naming things

J@.jstone after the rename marco wants to finish animesh's PR so we can do versioned containerfiles
Dtrue
i just naming my project with something random
i just naming my project with something random
J@.jstone I was thinking, can we just rename ublue-os/base the repo from base to main?
Jand change the package name?
MWe could do that, I'd suggest we start with a branch for the changes. Alternatively, start a new repo and when ready archive this one with a new readme
JThat might be one way of doing it, provided it's also coordinated with moving the ublue first-run functionality into another repo
Jright
Jactually, we should create a new one so we're not in a rush to "flip a switch"
JYeah
XI think we should steer the current base towards being the startingpoint image (as proposed in my graph). Strip it down, and make it a custom image starting point intended to be based on the -main, with more customizability in mind.
J@.jstone is there anything I should be doing to prep for the image restructuring?
Jalso I'd like for us to figure out what the scope of images is on the -main image
JI think the easiest thing to do would be to create a
ublue-os/main repo so that we have a clean slate to play with, and ensure that cosign is set upJok so not a copy
Jbase is set to be a template anyway
JThe scope should be A) one parameterized Containerfile for multiple Fedora releases and DEs B) limit the Containerfile defintion to essential rpm-ostree installs with QoL package inclusion/exclusion lists. This will give downstream maintainers a simple path for consuming images and ensuring that they're only adding features and not taking them out
JI think anyone submitting package inclusion requests should be asking themselves if what they're requesting will be generally useful for everyone and won't benefit just one subset of users. If the feature is too specific, then it should instead exist in a downstream image
Joh I know!
JIssue template!
JOoohhh yes please!
JI'd love a template that lets users select versions and whatnot

Jworking on template now
JPermission to start placing files in the repo?
Jlazy concensus!
Jdon't add any packages though if you can help it, like add the minimum so we can all use the templates
JWhat do you mean by that?
Jlet me make a template so we can use the templates to add packages
Jso I can test the wording, etc. of the template and we can practice
