how do you guys feel about feature branches instead of repos? It would conflate issues and PRs into one place but it also might be easier for users to work with

j0rge•3/2/23, 12:45 AM

I kind of kept it split on purpose for a few reasons

j0rge•3/2/23, 12:46 AM

say in a few months ribbanya-linux blows up and everyone loves it and you have thousands of new fans and admirers

j0rge•3/2/23, 12:46 AM

and my ubuntu image does the same thing but it's a different community, though a subset of this one

well in that scenario the fork would be ribbanya/ribbanya-linux which is a fork of ublue/main, and so my fork would have its own PRs, issues, and discussions

(not that I think separate repos are a bad idea, was just wondering)

j0rge•3/2/23, 12:50 AM

oh, I meant within the org itself

j0rge•3/2/23, 12:50 AM

assuming a ublue-os/ribbanya

j0rge•3/2/23, 12:50 AM

didn't we try a dev branch in nvidia and then end up regretting it?

рибаняOP•3/2/23, 12:51 AM

I mentioned this in the discussions but I do think, since we are starting from scratch with ublue/mainublue/main, all of the derivative repos should be git clones so they can merge upstream

j0rge•3/2/23, 12:53 AM

What commands do we want run in a bug report, I'm thinking

rpm-ostree status -v

rpm-ostree status -v

at a minimum

jstone•3/2/23, 12:53 AM

I have very mixed feelings about the mono repo model for our needs because we already have a protected branch model to ensure that people must have a pull request, which means more branches, and making sure we don't end up rebasing and merging onto the wrong branch can be a management nightmare

j0rge•3/2/23, 12:54 AM

for sure reinvestigate when we're larger though

Jjstone I have very mixed feelings about the mono repo model for our needs because we al...

рибаняOP•3/2/23, 12:54 AM

I think it definitely comes down to your social structure of maintainers which I'm not familiar with

jstone•3/2/23, 12:55 AM

Having feature branches does work in certain contexts like for managing very similar files across a release branches https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel

jstone•3/2/23, 12:59 AM

For ublue-os, having some separation seems sensible here. Sharing is good, and that's what we're trying to enable with the reorganization of the image inheritance model

jstone•3/2/23, 1:00 AM

But also having the ability to silo ourselves and pull in functionality when needed seems to be the pace people want to work at

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:04 AM

yeah good point now that you mention it

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:05 AM

everyone's moving at a different pace

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:05 AM

"A base image with batteries included "

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:05 AM

I need a better description, any ideas?

рибаняOP•3/2/23, 1:06 AM

main

main

gnome?

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:06 AM

yeah

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:07 AM

like should I use the same description that we're using in base?

jstone•3/2/23, 1:07 AM

main

main

is not any particular flavor

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:07 AM

we can remove "unfiltered flathub" soon.

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:08 AM

yeah main the repo will generate {desktop}-main

jstone•3/2/23, 1:08 AM

There will be a silverblue-mainsilverblue-main which is Gnome, but there will be all of the other supported DEs as well

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:08 AM

so I guess it's all of them in one

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:09 AM

instead of main we should have called it theonetheone

рибаняOP•3/2/23, 1:09 AM

oh right main is parameterized, gotcha

рибаняOP•3/2/23, 1:09 AM

what is happening to the base repo?

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:10 AM

I'll leave it running

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:11 AM

and then tell people to migrate, we have 90 days of image reaping in the registry, so whenever we freeze it + 90 days. On day 91 we archive the repo. Sound good?

рибаняOP•3/2/23, 1:11 AM

ah ok so it is being phased out

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:12 AM

Technically we could keep it running, but maybe we just called that Alpha and this one is the beta, heh

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:12 AM

I fully expected this to be me by myself and whining to @marcoceppi when I needed something fix

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:13 AM

but by the reception so far it's clear to be this is the way, this is the model for more people than just us.

j0rge•3/2/23, 1:13 AM

like, if I could go back in time and give this to myself as my first linux ... the amount of sheer toil and suffering I could save lol

рибаняOP•3/2/23, 1:14 AM

if base is being archived I feel like main should be unsquashed, as in

git rebase 9c3c8dcfb4424fc0b2c6ca4e15b15e95f9bf3ff6 --onto a5e90a588f58a938405bf513d1032955be34028e

yeah it's amazing, I can't wait to get my friends onto linux this way

ChaiQi•3/2/23, 1:16 AM

what even is dpkg-reconfigure -a

dreamyuki•3/2/23, 1:31 AM

i'm pretty sure Linux is mainstream rn if distro like Silverblue exist 20 years ago

j0rge•3/2/23, 2:09 AM

you mean like ChromeOS is?

j0rge•3/2/23, 2:10 AM

ok testing the build chain on the new repo, everything is working as expected so far

j0rge•3/2/23, 2:10 AM

which means the template we started on is self-sustaining fork-wise.

j0rge•3/2/23, 2:10 AM

so that problem is solved other than people who need to figure out cosign when they fork

how do you guys feel about feature branches instead of repos? It would conflate issues and PRs into
