That is what I call FUD. I count a dozen thousand unique daily visitors on ATrpms' master mirror and if one could get metrics from the other mirrors there would be quite a huge number. So there are ~ 15000 users with broken systems daily? Or are do they all belong to the category "have been very lucky" as you write in bugzilla?
Do you think I am spreading lies here? Let me describe my latest issue with ATrpms which I had to deal with not more than a few weeks ago: I work closely with an upstream developer on several of the packages I maintain for Fedora. Upstream made a build farm for their packages which recently was breaking with Fedora. They asked me to fix the problem and it was due to the fact that they were using apt-get and ATrpms. IIRC, I believe it was the "nx" package that was causing problems for them, I'm not sure how nx was getting installed, perhaps as some dependency for another package. But to make a long story short, disabling ATrpms and using yum instead of apt-get solved their problem. So I don't see how you can call this "FUD" when I *still* have to deal with problems stemming from the ATrpms repo. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
