#57: Seeking Council feedback/input on draft third party software policy -------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: workstation | -------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by tc01): > Rest of Fedora community, what do you think and how do you feel about all this? Well, I'm very much in the "rest of Fedora community" camp, but I did have one thought when reading this that does not seem to have been discussed yet, so I figured I'd mention it: I'm somewhat curious how this would interact with user-added third party repositories with packages that provide GNOME Software metadata. For example, if I enabled RPM Fusion on my system, and there are RPM Fusion packages with Gnome Software metadata, how are they listed when I search for them? Especially if a third-party repo *I* add to my system provides an application that's also being added through this potential procedure and tagged as third-party or non-free, what happens? I get that we don't officially endorse projects like RPM Fusion, of course, but I would wager many desktop Fedora users install packages from either it or a competing project, so it might be something important to think about? -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/57#comment:17> 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.
