Thanks for putting this summary together Graham.

Some of the discussion around packaging the images has also found it's way
onto:

> Fundamentally the plan is to:
>  - move from the current 'home' setup Kata uses to a 'devel' setup to
> enable supported packaging into openSUSE and SLES.
>     - the devel setup will be maintained by a combination of Kata
> community members and SUSE employees.
>  - rewrite the specs to be more in line with SUSE standards
>  - Add some method to handle building (or as Carlos' & James other
> email/Issue - possibly externally build and host) the current binary files
> - namely the rootfs image.
>     - a possibility here is to use the SUSE 'kiwi' tool.

> Question: Moving forwards, the Kata community will have to discuss/decide

> as the default for the different distro packages. This may be influenced by:
>  - the ability to build some rootfs images from sources/RPMs/kiwi, and
> others possibly not (DEB or Clear Linux based images maybe)
>  - the 'natural choice' that maybe a distro package would use a rootfs
> based on the same distro (so SUSE would use a SUSE rootfs, Ubuntu an Ubuntu
> rootfs etc.)

> There was some discussion around archiving older versions of packages so
> users have an option to pin or unwind their installations. There are some
> methods that may be useable for that in OBS - but, it needs better
> definition and testing.

> comes with the distro to do a build of Kata. Presently we hold binaries in
> the repo for golang, and that is not acceptable in the official SUSE devel
> flows. There did seem to be a way to do this better (by adding a
> sub-package dependency).

> There was a question if OBS can auto-detect new releases (of Kata), and
> automatically build. I think the answer is no, it does not do auto change
> detect/build - but, you can have a 'service file' that wraps the spec file
> builds and injects version info, so you can have a one-step update/build
> process (edit the service file and kick off a build), which reduces the
> burden.
>
> Action: We'd like to ensure we do not duplicate any packaging efforts in
> parallel with other distros - that is, if another distro is already working
> on packaging Kata, then we do not want to invest too much effort on
> something that will then be replaced with a formal release from a distro.
> Julio - can you ascertain the current status and plans for Ubuntu Kata
> packaging for us please?
>
> Action: SUSE would be interested in assessing the Clear Linux
> optimisations with a vew to applying them to the SUSE rootfs image. Graham
> to seek out details and contacts (all Clear Linux work is open, and will
> welcome adoption).
>
> Action: Archana had a question about sub-versioning and how users flip
> versions - we ran out of time. Archana will open a GitHub Issue to
> ask/discuss.
>
> Next step: The plan is to initially write the specs for SUSE in the devel
> area, and then migrate the other distro builds one at a time from home to
> devel. Marco and Carlos will work together on the devel scripts (with Marco
> taking the lead I believe).
>
> I'm sure I've missed some finer details. It was a productive meeting and
> thanks Marco for pushing us along with this :-)
