I would call what your actually doing, to be a "fedora" vision as a whole or in general. That is what I would consider to be the basic overall vision of the fedora project and the packages that are currently included (not the DVD you create, but the rawhide or F-x directory that exists as an official release). And what I believe everyone else (guess spelling this out for either you, or whomever might not understand yet) is talking about, is taking all those packages that you have had built (via koji, moch, pungi, etc..) and putting them into spins and having them work like that. But to do that, and to know exactly what that spin needs to have, is the argument of who needs to decide what the audience is for that spin so they know how to build that spin. And the further argument (or the one that started it all) is if one spin has a package that is built one way, but needs to be changed so that spin works, but another spin also needs that package but needs it built this way (and the two ways collide) and therein lies the problem. My 2 cents, is choices can be good, but too many and they become confusing and/or problems and you spread yourself way too thin. You work on so many, that you have lots of OK things. But if you limit your choices to just a few, then you have a few *great* things because you can concentrate more on the fewer choices. Anyway, prolly screwed this up so just delete it if it's terrible haha. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best lil town on Earth!" -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
