People take a lot of pride in being Debian developers. So, even though a package hasn't been downloaded once in the last 10 years, if a developer comes up with his package for a new release, it will be included. The same is true for Fedora, I suppose, but there might be less insistance on the part of developers to be counted as Fedora developers. This said, it seems that Debian sometimes reacts faster than Fedora. Whereas LiVES is still, as far as I know, a bug report/wishlist in Fedora, the other distro has it included for the next release: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/lives http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/lives This is an instance I am aware of. There might be others but, in the end, I doubt very much you should feel like a reject of the open source software world with Fedora :) Most likely, Lives will be part of Fedora 12. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
