[edit] LSB SI 4.0

[edit] Plans from the November 2007 LSB F2F

The following is taken verbatim, with notes, from the LSB_F2F_November_2007 meeting. It can be thought of as both a plan for the LSB SI in the 4.0 time-frame as well as a wish-list of what we would like to see from the LSB SI in 4.0.

• The LSB SI should be targeted more towards ISVs.
  • ISVs tend to require more hand-holding with chroots and UML images. A more ideal LSB SI would include several deployment technologies in addition to chroots and virtual images.

[edit] 1) Deployment technologies

• Live CD
• Virtualized (VMWare, VirtualBox, UML, etc.)
• chroot
• installable distro
• installable chroot with GUI

[edit] 2) Convertible to a build environment

[edit] 3) Test environment included or available as add-on (ATK)

[edit] 4) LSB shell environment

• It would be really nice to have a downloadable package which contained the chroot and a GUI means to access it. It would also be really nice if it could do everything the normal installable LSB SI environment could do.

[edit] 5) Target deliverables to distros

• Include RPM database correctly populated (3.2 and previous it was not)

[edit] 6) Support all LSB architectures

[edit] 7) Components

• Include strict LSB packages
• Select packages that may be needed
  • X server
  • Trial use
  • ssh/sshd
  • nfs/automount
  • ATK
    • Which will require Perl/Python, likely more than in LSB 3.2
