#61: Fedora Packaging Guidelines: Weak Dependencies on packages from third-party repos -------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: maxamillion | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: meeting | -------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by maxamillion): Replying to [comment:3 jwboyer]: > For the sake of argument, are we going to ignore that different third party repositories may package a piece of software differently? We cannot do anything about it, but making a blind assumption that Recommends: ffmpeg would lead to everything working seems a bit careless. > > If we aren't ignoring it, then it means we need to vet which third party repositories package it correctly and make sure we have coordinated efforts with them. Which is a very large rathole. That's a good point, would it be possible to vet a small handful of third party repositories and say that packagers may `Recommend:` or `Suggests:` from those repositories? (I worry that's going to get off into some legal rabbit hole in itself though, but I thought maybe we could try and rate- limit the potential for problems) -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/61#comment:4> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
