Not sure from our side, but Debian has always a package "popularity-contest", which automatically submitted packages to make those list of recommended packages. Maybe it will require some information from legal team, but from the initiative part, it sounds good :) Regards, Pablo -- Pablo Iranzo Gómez (Pablo.Iranzo@xxxxxxxxxx) Senior Global Profesional Services Consultant (RHCA, RHCSS, RHCDS, RHCVA, RHCE, RHCSA, RHCSP, JBCAA) #110-215-852 Phone: +34 645 01 01 49 (CET/CEST) GnuPG KeyID: 0x5BD8E1E4 _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure
