I think it was discussed during a Fedora board meeting. I could ask the board if they remembered or if minutes were taken. So I just talked w/ one of the board members and the main reasons were resource contention and clear separation. So while we'd need our own equipment and space, there isn't many reasons why we couldn't be hosted right along side the Extras systems. Again, this just needs to be discussed. We've been working fairly well with just one system to do all our builds, and that system is in no way suitable to be colocated with the Extras equipment. However with me moving away from the place that has donated hosting up until now, it makes more sense to get systems located in a place that others can manage it. > >As far as money/resources, this is actually something I'm looking to Red > >Hat for.

I dont understand the reluctance in doing this. So as far as Legacy goes, we're using the Fedora wiki, we're considering collapsing all of our website into the Wiki, we're moving to use the same software as Extras, moving to get our repo data in Core directly, send announcements via fedora-announce, etc... If our systems are in the same place as Extras systems, and Fedora Sysadmins have access to them as well, and we share of the publish space, is that not integration? I don't think we need to shove other projects onto the same systems that do Extras builds. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub)
