Why do gl6.{1,2}-updates inherit from gl6.{1,2}, while gl6.0-updates
does **not** inherit from gl6.0 ?

Mathieu,

The reason is that gl6.0-updates packages will be tagged after they are built into gl6.0-updates-candidates and tested. In this way, we can have updates separate with inheritance for the generic updates repo. Essentially, everything is built and tested in the left tags and is moved to the appropriate -updates tag as it's approved. Then we can mash the updates repos together and keep the iso repos (gl6.x) separate.

Cheers,

Clint

But that's the same thing for gl6.{1,2}-updates: packages there will be
tagged after they are built into gl6.{1,2}-updates-candidates and tested.

It seems you're explaining the need for two sets of tags: gl6.{1,2} and
gl6.{1,2}-updates.

Indeed, this separation is what allows making an ISO from gl6.{1,2}
while publishing updates in gl6.{1,2}-updates.

But that wasn't my question. :)

Let me reformulate:

* gl6.0-updates **does not** inherit from gl6.0
* gl6.1-updates **does** inherit from gl6.1
* gl6.2-updates **does** inherit from gl6.2

My question was: why the differences in inheritance schemes?

( I'm sure I'm simply missing something obvious here, but I can't figure
out what ^_^ )

Mathieu,

To answer your question, you are on the right track. It's about separating inheritance...sort of.

We want to build with every package we can, thus we have gl6.1 which inherits from gl6.0-updates-candidate which inherits from gl6.0. The idea here is that we need the updates, or possibly do anyway, to build gl6.1 packages from gl6.0 and it's updates. However, the problem comes from the fact that we need to be able to keep updates separate from the ISOs when we're a) distributing new ISOs, and b) spinning release/update repositories.

Anything in gl6.x and gl6.x-updates-candidate will be also tagged into gl6.x-updates. Essentially, we'll only keep updates in one repo, that will be the latest gl6.x-updates tag, with inheritance.

I hope this explains the reasoning for the separate inheritance. Essentially, we're just doing it so we can keep updates separate. It's actually similar to what Fedora does with bodhi, at least from what I can tell.

Cheers,

herlo
