Speaking only of Scribus, I want to know of *any* issues so that: a. we can determine if it is a Fedora specific or packaging problem. b. make Fedora aware of updates and new releases. c. provide a work around if possible. Once CVS is opened, this is something IMO which needs to be formalized. Every project should have at its option the ability to be cc'd on all bug reports relating to their package. Our experience with Debian and Scribus is instructive. There were unknown to us for a long time, many stale bug reports in Debian's tracker for Scribus. We also received a disproportionate amount of complaints and issues from Debian users. Scribus now has an outstanding Debian maintainer, who has worked very closely with us to resolve most all the issues. Results: happy users, fewer issues. Cheers, Peter
