I've definately talked to quite a few of them (online and in person) over the years this has been going on. I even had a tor package made and submitted it, but Enrico and my package crossed paths and his was a day earlier, so his "personal" version instead of a "fedora" version got accepted: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=175799 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=175433 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=532373 I don't care who maintains it, as long as we can get the package up to spec so upstream does not feel they need to require to tell their users "don't use the fedora package, use our rpm". That, and the repeated tor discussions on package guidelines violations clearly shows a maintainer issue. I'm getting seriously tired of this tor package discussion every six months. Seriously, just rip out the childish %post crap, and remove all the non-fedora initscript sub package nonsense. This is not the Enrico Project.
