I was more than happy to shove new packages into rawhide only, but when confronted with http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure felt obliged to request branches for F-9 and F-10 too (and pressure during review to support EPEL too only adds to the problem). Requests for new packages should only be permitted in rawhide by default (and consequently, EPEL+1 whenever and whatever that may be). Some form of additional review/sponsorship/bribery should be a prerequisite for branches in already-released version. -- Iain. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
