The mistake to avoid is to fork the package and apply Fedora changes blindly without discussing them with the original packagers, as you may introduce bugs that will be reported JPackage side and make users and JPackage people very angry at you - the first ones because you'll break all the mised JPackage+Fedora installs that exist in the field as soon as they get your package as update, the second ones because they'll get problem report through no fault of theirs and that they can't fix since the problem will be in your package. The best option is to arrange to become a kind of co-maintainer JPackage-side. This way you'll be able to push relevant information from one project to the other when necessary. This is how rpmfusion packagers synchronize with Fedora packages they depend heavily on. Even though Jpackage is a much smaller project than Fedora it includes a lot more Java packages so it's coverage of Java packages interactions will tend to be better than the Fedora one. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
