Typically I prefer to map the landscape first, but okay.</div><div><br></div><div>So from Zygumnt's thread it sounds like there's going to be a tag cloud attached to each snap. I'm guessing that this is going to include kernel, gadget and framework snaps. They'll export which tags they support. Will the tags be centrally defined or are we hoping for some sort of emergent behavior here? How will we handle conflicting tags?</div><div><br></div><div>For the cases where versioning is important, how will that be handled. For instance being able to support OpenGL could mean standard GL of various versions or GLes of various versions. For games which versions the HW can support can be very important.</div><div><br></div><div>There was a mention of passing metadata, which way will the metadata transfer occur? Both? What is the lifecycle and policy for handing that passing of metadata? Does it require a particular format or is that to be decided by the framework and/or application involved in the exchange?</div><div><br></div><div>I hope that'll start the conversation some.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Ted</div><div><br></div><div>On Fri, 2015-11-13 at 14:24 -0200, Gustavo Niemeyer wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Ted,</div><div><br></div><div>We don't have a complete spec for how the feature will look like at this time. We have been talking about capabilities for quite a while, though, and we have a long term vision which is quite rich. Rather than asking Zygmunt to come up with a complete plan for that long term vision, which would require significant back and forth that we don't have the bandwidth for today, we decided to unblock the development of that feature by focusing on the obvious common denominator for that long term vision. Zygumnt's top post in this thread describes the high-level ideas in that initial common denominator.</div><div><br></div><div>We'd be happy to talk more if you have specific questions.</div><div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 13, 2015 at 1:46 PM, Ted Gould <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ted@ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ted@ubuntu.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote type="cite"><div><span><div>On Mon, 2015-11-09 at 21:29 +0100, Zygmunt Krynicki wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite"><pre>You can find my first merge requests over at [1] and [2].
