New page

The following is a summary of the RPM5 Uprev and related. This will be expanded to include a future roadmap as possible.

The RPM5 work includes both rpm5.org and Zypper related sources and dependencies.

* RPM5
* Uprev RPM5 to latest version (5.4.0)
* Include package separation based on upstream SPEC file
* Consider also supporting previous stable release (5.3.7)

* Zypper
* Dependent upon the RPM5 uprev
* Sync up API usage with current RPM5 work
* Change Zypper to support variable arch as implemented by RPM5

* Rootfs creation
* Sync to latest RPM5 as necessary
* Create install repository for Zypper
* Create rootfs using Zypper, if possible

Goal in the end is to be able to have a more modern version of RPM5. A newer and/or better integrated version of Zypper. This newer version needs to hopefully use Poky's understanding of "arch" instead of it's own. A simple mechanism to construct a Zypper package repository structure. And to use that structure to generate a filesystem.

----

Roadmap:

Jan 6:
* Uprev RPM5 to 5.4.0 (in Poky Contrib)

Jan 7
* Rootfs creation with RPM5 5.4.0

Jan 13
* Final RPM5 uprev and integration, including package seperation
* Initial Zypper API integration and sync to RPM5

Jan 17-21
* RPM5 arch enhancement
* Zypper repository (createrepo) support

?
* Zypper used to create rootfs (may not happen for 1.0)
