For the record, I wasn't hired from 'upstream' and I'm not in the development group so they may have different procedures, but I certainly didn't get any automatic packaging privileges when I joined, I went through the sponsorship process just like any other contributor. As other replies suggest, I think the procedure in this case doesn't differ from any other. Being a coder does not automatically make you a proficient packager, it's just the same as the converse (we wouldn't assume a good packager was a good hacker). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
