Looks interesting. I would like to make a comment about inclusion in Fedora. If you expect someone will pick up the packaging, I think that is a bit too hopeful. In my experience with other specialised progamming frameworks, it takes an expert who knows the intricate dependencies to successfully package and get it reviewed to be included in Fedora. A case in point is the ROOT data analysis framework developed at CERN and Fermilab. I am a user of the framework for about 7 years now, and wanted to see it in Fedora. To that end I filed an RFE, it took several years and eventually it was included in Fedora only after a grid computing expert from the University of Uppsala stepped in and volunteered. In your case, since you are the devs, someone on your team is best placed to take on this kind of undertaking. That said, once a spec file is reviewed and accepted, the subsequent maintenance burden is minimal. I hope this encourages you to consider it. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
