[Kea-users] Kea Packaging Standardization

[Dan Theisen]

Hello everyone,

I've been working on standardizing the packages that we provide across 
distributions, and I would like to ask for input from users of Kea. The 
goal of this standardization effort is to ensure that the Kea packages 
that ISC provides for various different distributions are as similar as 
possible, and that the distribution specific requirements which cause 
differences between the packaging and deployment of Kea on systems are 
clearly documented. This should reduce the number of surprises at 
packaging and run time, make the Kea user experience more consistent 
across different distributions, and simplify supporting customers in 
different environments.

I've written a proposal which you can find at the bottom of the page 
here: 
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/wikis/designs/packaging#package-standardization-across-distros

There is also discussion between my team and I on the matter that can be 
found here: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/issues/2220

Please let me know by Thursday of this week if you have any comments, 
questions, or concerns about our approach.

Thanks,
Dan Theisen
