Re: Where is pankso?

[Christopher Rogers <slaxemulator@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been working on a working tank iso for the past year so that anyone could host tank on there local lan. But this could also be used for a full on server of the new tank. With this you can host mirror and tank on one server since it does alot of soft link to /home/slitaz/cooking folder so the home could be mount bind with home= boot option.

slitaz changes=/dev/hda1 home=/dev/hda2 mirror=/dev/hda3

Something like the above will for root changes to be save to /dev/hda1. Home to be save to /dev/hda2. (This is need so tank and mirror makegraphs work right.) And everything for mirror on /dev/hda3. The mirror branch in aufs union is read only so any changes to /packages and /src will be in changes. This may give some layer of protect if cookutils does something its not suppose to do. The repos are also in /repos on my livecd using squashfs to save space but it can be put in mirror partition to get it some sort of backup too.

More can be done with slitaz like adding package and source signature to know that the package is from tank or not. I have develop cookutils on my own for a while now and its gotten alot better. Its more like tazwok in the sense that everything in /home/slitaz/cooking/chroot/hom/slitaz/cooking is bind mounted to /home/slitaz/cooking folders. (ex. /home/slitaz/cooking/log is bind into /home/slitaz/cooking/chroot/home/slitaz/cooking/log.)

I hope this explains what slitaz-tank could be used for. And that it was not all for nothing.

Hi,

Im going a step foward and start a pad at http://www.ietherpad.com/slitaz-meeting to list point that need to be adressed.
This is not setting what kind of meeting it will be. Someone else shoud do this.

Its not about pushing Pankso away. Pankso is a big part of Slitaz and i hope he is fine. But in order, to keep Slitaz moving the devs have to reorganise and take control of tasks that Pankso was leading.


p.s: i personaly have experienced comunity without leader and it works (well most of the time).
