Hello All!
Imagine an application, which relies on a specific kernel module. This
module is not a part of stock Fedora kernel (at least, yet), and we
don't allow stand-alone kernel modules.
Whether or not this package can be allowed?
IMO: no.
Packages in Fedora should "just work" and therefore must not rely on
anything which is not in Fedora.
Well I don't think this should be a hard and fast rule.
Then our opions diverge: I think it should be a hard show stopper criterion.
There should not be any room for any "cripple ware" in Fedora nor should
Fedora be a stage for "closed source loaders".
I think I agree.
This is just like shipping a package with an intentionally missing
dependency. We wouldn't allow shipping yum if rpm were missing,
right?
this sounds the same to me.
