That's what will happen anyway. In the mean time everybody will rebuild those packages privately, and after some time ther will be another repo. But the time wasted by fedora contributors in doing private rebuilds and another repo is worth considering. Among the fedora extras contributors there are some people needing those softwares, so helping them may add resources to fedora. So the real issue is to compare the cost of providing the infrastructure and the benefits induced by the spillovers of reduced maintainance costs of non-free packages for fedora extras contributors. -- Pat -- 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
