</I>>>><i> We start of with 3 medias: core, nonfree, tainted and 3 debug medias:
</I>>>><i> debug_core, debug_nonfree, debug_tainted. In order to avoid confusion,
</I>>>><i> we wont use the name "restricted" as it was used in MDV commercial

</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Now all of theese medias will have their 5 submedias: release, updates,
</I>>>><i> updates_testing, backports, backports_testing.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> That brings us to 30 medias in total :)
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> The details of the media layout suggestion is also at the end of this

</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Now...
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> We wont blindly import every package from cooker, instead we'll
</I>>>><i> start off the import with basesystem (as in bootable system with
</I>>>><i> shell access), compiler and rpm tools (and of course their buildtime
</I>>>><i> depencies). When all of that is imported and rebuilt, we have a working
</I>>>><i> buildsystem / base to build from.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Then we to go on with and start importing X, the different
</I>>>><i> DE's and every other package needed to build a full distro.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> By doing it this way, we get a clean start, every package rebuilt,
</I>>>><i> and no old/unmaintained stuff in the beginning.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Then as more maintainers join, I guess more packages will be imported
</I>>>><i> from cooker and other sources. And packages can always be requested.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> As for those that want the core/extra split:
</I>>>><i> We already tried it with main/contrib split. And I know mdv is now
</I>>>><i> trying to refine what belongs in main or not, but thats for mdv
</I>>>><i> to work through the "problem" as it wont be an easy task.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> For us I think the best way for now is to start with this suggested
</I>>>><i> layout, and see if it works well for us. Remember, as Michael pointed
</I>>>><i> out, this is a community supported distro, and only time will tell how
</I>>>><i> well the community actually will support their distro.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Point is, if we later decide this is not working well, we can always
</I>>>><i> review the decisions and if decided do the split.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> Can we reach an agreement that this is the way to start the distro?
</I>>><i>
</I>I have one question at your suggestion Thomas.
Mandriva has editions like Mandriva One or Mandriva Free. Will there be
something different or will Mageia use this as a base?
I would prefer that some proprietary firmware will be available such as
the WIFI drivers of Intel (iwlwifi) , which is needed by my wireless
card, without choosing the correct version of Mageia.
These drivers are also available in the kernel right now, so it would be
a possibility to activate them there by default so newer hardware will
work correctly.
