Sure, for the first package there is some extra work involved. I try to help out when a RH engineer is trying to break into Extras. And yeah, different build system means more to learn, but for myself I keep two source dirs, one for rh internal, one for extras. the structure is the same, make tag, make build works the same, I get emails when my builds finish, its all pretty much the same. I'm curious if its the first hurdle that's causing the resistance. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
