1. Validate and double check all STX Debian integrations such that if/when we encourage more community involvement the experience
will be 'good'
- Need a good build receipt so that people won't break the build
2. Build stability and length (speed
up the build)
- Image build is taking a long time (LAT improvements?)
- There are caching mechanism, but there are definitely performance improvement
can be made.
- Tooling has been stabilizing.
- Should add c-cache, so that kernel or ceph (large pkgs) can build faster.
- Upstream (Ingo) has been working on improving build time, 80% improvement by
cleaning up header files dependencies. Won't pick it up until it is been merged.
- Error path should be improving, so when things failed, it would be obvious what
break, and why.
- Also working on Patching mechanism, need OSTree deep dive
3. STX 7 (next 6 months)
- Python 3 has been finished in STX6
- not going to be completed
merge with OSTreee, and LAT
- Need another 3 months or so: installer, distributed program are not likely to
finish off.
- For Kernel, should we update to the latest 5.10 stable, possible on a cadence.
