The build service isn't particularly interesting, mostly because the model we're moving towards is to move as much outside of the firewall as much as possible. It's kind of odd, actually, any time I run into any of the suse folks, all they want to talk about is the build service. Not a lot of value there, imho?
It behooves all of us to make linux software easier to install- as easy as xpis in mozilla, or app bundles in osx. Once you do that, developers can focus more on development and less on packaging, users can more reliably get newer/better versions with less pain, etc. The build service is a very kludgy solution to this, but for users and non-distro developers it is a step in the right direction if it gets used. It gives them value, even if there is very little value in it for the distros. (I can rant on about this at great length; probably best not to get me started ;) Luis _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
