This is a good perspective, Ralf. Putting the same energy into individual reviews won't have as amplified an impact as convincing the packaging committee of problems. I understand the theoretical value of a deterministic package build - I'm not aware of specific examples of where non-determinism has caused problems in Fedora, though I can imagine some. Gathering evidence of breakage may cause a change of opinion. Having a practical alternative is probably required as well. -Bill P.S. I support your position to not review packages you find morally offensive. Fedora itself is a moral stance (on Free software), and as such should not ask its members to behave in a personally unethical manner. -- Bill McGonigle, Owner BFC Computing, LLC http://bfccomputing.com/ Email, IM, VOIP: bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Telephone: +1.603.448.4440 Twitter, etc.: bill_mcgonigle/bill.mcgonigle VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
