= Release Management concerns =

As GENI experimenters and operators start to use GIMI and the code evolves, there are some release management issues that we should consider.

1.  Code Delivery
    * How will updates be delivered to the end users?
       * Packages?  Tarballs?  Repository?
    * What should be included in these releases?  
    * Where will these be published?
2.  Versions
    * How will GIMI releases be named?
    * As users report problems and we create tickets, we will need to identify what version of the software was used so the issue can be reproduced and troubleshooted.
    * What versions do we need to track?  What dependencies do we have?  (e.g. OML server 2.8, iperf-oml2)
3.  Image Updates
    * How often will new static images be created?
    * How will updates be handled between static image releases?  Postboot scripts?
    * How does the user identify which image they are running?  Can they tell from within the running node?
