How can contact the Fedora Repo , The ATRPMS Repo and RPMFusion rep mintainers to ask them why in tarnation hey screw up fedora users' installations in this way? They offer rpms for apps the main fedora repo does not provide, but link them with libraries and packages with a slightly different build and version number than what Fedora Repo DOES provide, thus breaking the dependency chain. I was hoping that Redhat would lower the boom and tell these repo maintainers that they cannot name their package names with the fc14 (or in general fcN), if they break Redhat's fcN releases dependency chains, and should not duplicate libraries in /lib and /usr/lib, which Redhat Fedora already provides. This would be similar to distros that change the names of their packages, even though they are spin-off's of RHEL5 or RHEL6; such as CENTOS and Scientific Linux... This way, users would not be "baited" into installing such packages. What does the community think of this approach?
