Serious development conversations should not happen in IRC unless the chat is fully logged and posted. IMHO. A global development community must needs be asynchronous. Synchronous communications channels have no place in a global community. IMHO, and IME as part of the PGDG. Public or not; key developers may not be up|online|in the mood to develop at the instant of the chat. > Bottom line, I'm getting really sick of the bickering. Amen. Fedora Legacy packages should simply follow the Red Hat precedent. No more; no less. The third party repositories can do whatever they want for their extra/alternative packages, but that discussion does not belong here. There IS a precedent for errata packages, if the people arguing this would just care to find it. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
