I believe Robert knows pretty much what he's talking about. Even though his form is not always what I consider cordial, the content of his mails and his reasoning is sound. > Should you prod Behdad sufficiently to make him do exactly that, you'd > be on the shit list of a lot of people, me included (and I suspect that > would include releng and most of qa). No need for shitlists. Please read _again_ what exactly Robert is advocating. I'll even repeat it for you: Go and orphan your packages, if you want to focus just on upstream. He's not advocating forcing people out or forcing them to orphan packages. What he suggests is that people wanting to concentrate on upstream development are able to do that without being burdened by maintaining packages for distributions. regards, andreas -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
