Please stop placing hierarchies. The begining of rpmfusion was when Ville asked me for livna and atrpms to merge at a time when livna had lost almost all packagers. The end result is a stronger livna renamed, but it stil shouldn't allow anyone to become arrogant and place itself over others, pride or non-pride. And ATrpms is not just two packagers. Paulo is a excellent packager, but there are others packaging other stuff, be that afs, suspend/tuxonice, voip apps etc. All in all there are 16 people with write access to the build server. Personally I doubt that rpmfusion is any bigger than ATrpms in consumer space. I think both repos play in the same league. Anyway, this is not about mine-is-bigger-than-yours. Actually ATrpms is known for trying to help small repos as well to level up to the other ones. See for example the common bugzilla I had setup. Please stop placing yourself above the others and dropping the burden of compatibility on them. If you want comaptibility between 3rd party repos, then please acknowledge that it is a two-way street. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
