Tags that can then be used to search for packages of interest or filter a list of packages. This is the goal of tagger, providing meta information about the package to allow easier search/filtering and provide a nicer user experience. >From what I can see popcon would relate more to our old smolt where we were trying to get a picture of what our users are installing (and in the case of smolt, on which hardware). The game aspect of tagger is just to encourage people to participate. Pierre -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
