Mostly the fact that with the acquisition of CoreOS Inc we have more people that know and maintain ore than fedimg (where sayan was really the only person who knows fedimg). ore also has the ability to upload to many more clouds than just AWS, which I don't think is something we ever had in fedimg. > > fedimg is already wired into Fedora Infrastructure, leverages > first-party API modules for various provider uploads (esp.

I agree Go can be a pain. Despite that I think this is a good starting point for now because we get the added functionality ore currently has without doing a bunch of new development. For now I think we have other "bigger fish" to go after. > > I do agree that we shouldn't have split maintenance between two tools, > though I'd rather see Fedora CoreOS images pushed via fedimg rather > than ore. _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/XNHNSND775QEJXOL5DK5LJ76U5ONGKD4/
