Hey,
I'm wondering whether there's some kind of disconnect in the feature process
at the moment: In order to avoid the kind of last-minute inclusion craze
that everybody hates, we decided to postpone rpm-4.10 for F18 and hoped to
get a pre-release version into rawhide right after branching F17, but it's
been almost a month now since filing the feature
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RPM4.10) ready for wrangler, with
no signs of activity from the wrangler to pass it on to FESCo (or request
corrections) that I can see.
Any idea what's up here? Lots of people are understandably busy with F17
preparations at this point, but now would also be the perfect time to start
introducing features deemed for F18 into rawhide, rather than day before
feature freeze. I'd rather have my "feature" done and dealt with well before
F18 alpha even appears on the horizon.
I don't think you need to wait for the Feature wrangler here. Just commit it
to the master branch and build for F18. It's not like kernel, gcc, and glibc
upgrades sit around waiting on a Feature page to get looked at.
Unless there is something that requires a large coordination with other
packages, I think you're good.
Well, that'd be just fine with me, I've just been trying to play by the
book. If it's ok for *some* features to proceed without prior acceptance
then perhaps the policy should be clarified on that.
