The discussion is about https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/378 ?
Yes.
The packaging process may differ for each distribution, and I think contrary to the core application of frr, the packaging should differ between distributions.
I think what Donald is after is to have the look and feel of the packaging process the same across all distributions -- to not confuse users. Is this a reasonable goal? If so, then we can work out _how_ to do this (one file or many)...
Martin did a nice job to bootstrap and to try to aggregate packaging, but I would tend to focus on the Debian/Ubuntu ones (startup and .deb).
Maybe we should focus only on Debian & Ubuntu, keeping these two a single look & feel, while leaving the rest to do what they want to do? 😊 /r
