codename for the first release #18

Open myguidingstar-zz opened 11 years ago

myguidingstar-zz commented 11 years ago

A codename is missing which causes repo:gokien-lsb to be incomplete.

In gokien-lsb repo, do this:

grep elementary src debian -R

to get lines that haven't been re-branded

lewtds commented 11 years ago

Hmm, for now we can just pretend to be luna. And btw, I've read somewhere on the elementaryos bugtracker that they have an option for find the upstream distro like this: lsb_release --codename --upstream. How do we implement this?

tuanta commented 11 years ago

We have a lot of interesting options:

  1. like Fedora: we select any name for the first code name then from the next ones, a process would be follow to select the new code name, something similar: i. people propose for all variants; ii. a designated team see if any ones should not be used (cause by trademark conflicts or something similar); iii. bring all left ones to a voting to choose the new code name.
  2. like OpenStack: they limited options by alphabet (the first one starts with "A", the next one with "B", etc.)

I'd love to adopt the Fedora style because it is freedom.

The Fedora way is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Guidelines_for_release_names

lewtds commented 11 years ago

The alphabet method has an obvious advantage of being alphabetically sortable. This single attribute might be tremendously helpful later.

tuanta commented 11 years ago

We can also merge two ways :)

lewtds commented 11 years ago

Then it's the same as the OpenStack/Ubuntu way, as far as I'm concerned.

lewtds commented 10 years ago

Since no official name has been chosen yet, I'm naming it "humpy" for now. https://github.com/gokien-patches/base-files/blob/c9b0f9b899d885b7f23483fec0467b33a864351c/etc/lsb-release

tuanta commented 10 years ago

+1 :) I have just sent a pull request to capitalize it to "Humpy" as well.

tuanta commented 10 years ago

Btw, what does Humpy mean? :)

How about using names in family of woodpecker for Gokien codename?

Some references:

lewtds commented 10 years ago

Humpy like in "humpbacked". It's just a word that suddenly sprung up in my head. Nothing special.

That idea is very nice. But there poses cultural and pronunciation problems. It would be weird for a Vietnamese distro to use English codename, and even if we go the Latin name path, I doubt many people are able to pronounce names like Incertae sedis.
