I've done that a lot of times and withdrawn a lot, these are not the package to worry about. And if there is a package in ATrpms that's in a higher version than in Fedora it will be for a reason, and if not bugzilla me. > Otherwise, you are free to import and maintain the packages directly in > the Fedora repository instead of your own which will work just fine as > well. I've done that with several packages. And the result is that it takes months to even a year to get it through. It is far from "just fine". Still I'm doing just that at a. > There are dozens of third party repositories and asking every > maintainers to cross check the entire list isn't that feasible. When it > is, I am all for it. And there are tons of Fedora packages submitted, it isn't feasible for the dozen repos to check against every package submission in Fedora. (And actually I would call major repos only a handful, some with rather well defined niches, e.g. if I want to package a sound application I will check against planetccrma, if a kde app against KDE Redhat etc.) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
