Actually given the size of the Fedora community a dozen thousand is not much (especially when some high-profile apps such as mythtv are only available through atrpms). Though I'll concede it's way harder to find how many of the Fedora users not using atrpms do so because of a bad past experience, how many because of third-party advice, and how many just aren't aware of atrpms existence. Anyway let's forget the past and work on the future;) Since the conditions which caused atrpms to be created arguably no longer exist (Fedora not doing EE, slow bug fixing within FC, Axel not being part of Fedora instances...) how about aiming for atrpms resorption by FC7 time ? (with atrpms only providing rebuilds for releases/packages Fedora does not care about). For example: 1. create an atrpms tracker bug in FE and L repo 2. for every package in atrpms create an issue in those bugzilla, blocking this tracker (issue being: review request for new package, FC/FE bug for duplicate packages if the duplication has a technical reason) Surely if as some claimed atrpm is causing a high number of problem for users there should be no dearth of people working on those issues. This way next time someone complains about atrpms, Axel can just point him to the tracker:) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot -- 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
