Fedora Present and Future: Part IV (Fedora Magazine)

[Posted April 30, 2014 by ris]

Part IV of Matthew Miller's series on Fedora.next looks at the Base Design. "The plan is to have Base to be self hosting, so that it can build itself, and be self-contained and self-sustaining. If you tried to do that right now, you’d end up with about 1,800 packages, which sounds rather insane — and it is! So, the build requirement cleanup, after the first review that Harold Hoyer and Phil [Knirsch] did, would get us down to maybe a couple of hundred packages. Without self-hosting, we’re already down to 127 packages."
