We're trying to make it pretty easy. We have a bunch of tools that lets
you build an rpm locally, a "local build service" if you want to play
rhetorical games. How we allow third parties be able to distribute and
let other people know that they have compatible software is a different
issue. That's the kind of thing that I've been pushing us towards as
well. The pieces that Jesse and others are working on are the
beginnings of that.
Ah, I may be missing information on what jesse and others are doing-
pointers?
Lots of tools that already exist - mock, plague, next pungi, which will
let you compose your own distribution. Not the same goal as the build
service (upload once, build for everyone) but can handle a lot of that.
i.e. it contains configs all the way back to Red Hat 7.3, iirc.
Wouldn't be too hard to point those at suse configs or whatever.
Debian/Ubuntu is harder, of course, but probably not impossible.
Also, thomasvs might have a bunch of tools for this. I think that he's
revived mach (as opposed to mock.)
I would love to talk with you about this at some point; I'm currently
drafting a blog post which basically says that not working with
mozilla was GNOME's biggest mistake of the post-2.0 era. (A mistake
that I played a significant role in, I might add :/
Yeah, that's an entirely different discussion - one that I come down on
both sides of from time to time. i.e. Havoc thinks we should have done
a GNOME browser and worked with the Firefox folks to call it Firefox.
They didn't want to do that, so we ended up with a pretty poorly
integrated browser experience on Linux.
But I don't think that's what you're talking about. I want to replicate
parts of that model for GNOME and Fedora, but not integration with
firefox so much as learning how they distribute and promote the software
they have.
