Is that the royal 'we'? Surely any individual or group can go ahead and chew on this outside the fedora submission process. I'd never want to give anyone the idea that would be somehow forbidden. If the patches are really needed (and I'm not actually sure they are critical for operation versus minor functionality enhancements) then someone could certainly roll their own packages and never get them into Fedora proper and still have the effort be worthwhile. In the same way spot heroically beats on chromium packages outside the standard repository collection Fedora provides. There is certainly nothing precedent setting in needing to do this sort of packaging outside the main repository. I just want to make sure its understood that there could be some stumbling blocks or compromises which have to be made going from 3rd party repo into the submission process. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
