How is what Christopher did > all that different? did you check the bug report? No system was broken and no bug was pointed out to. Christopher raged about ATrpms completely unmotivated. Or better said he raged after the submitter said he condsidered to submit this package to ATrpms. I could now pick a random bug report and start ranting about a random fedora contributior's packaging work, right?
I will officially apologize to you in front of the entire community and endorse the use of ATrpms if you promise to remove all packages that conflict with FC/FE. I feel that you are putting too much effort into condoning what I said, and not enough effort in making your repository work well with others. As I stated in the other thread, a repository that overrides base packages essentially forks Fedora and creates a new distribution, and this is far more damaging to the community than any comments made by a single individual. So once again, I will take back and apologize for everything I have said if you will promise to try and work more closely with the community and no longer override base packages found in FC/FE. -- 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
