Multiple things can be worked on in parallel to make an F9 release of an official Art related spin a real possibility. The goal is clear: Get an official spin out for F9 release with everything you want on it in the repository. To get to that goal, I think its absolutely OKAY to use a local repository of packages not yet in Fedora to build experimental versions of the Art spin. Here's the reality, getting packages past review takes finite time. Waiting for packages to complete review may slow down the brainstorming and refinement process of what the Art spin is meant to taste like. Making use of a third party repo, used as an experimental area to stage new packages you are interested in submitting as part of an Art spin is absolutely OKAY. You just can't call it the "Fedora" Art spin during this process. In parallel to this, you can start driving packages you know you want in an official Fedora Art spin into the package review process. To help move this forward, it would be very good if you had a solid list of people with package contributor status who can act as reviewers and package owners to move the package review process forward. Count me in that list. I can take review and maintain a subset of any additional packages that a Fedora Art spin needs to see land in the Fedora repository. -jef _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
