That isn't what he said. His point was "scratch your own itch" not "we're busier than you". If you don't have time to do it yourself, you can't immediately expect others to just do it for you. >>> If efficiency was Fedora's strong suit FPC would have been dismantled >>> by now... > >> This is unlikely to happen, so repeating your plea isn't likely to help >> any. > > > My plea what plea I asked Fesco to give this a serious thought about this > and they did not. Unless I missed something, you asked this explicitly in the meeting last week and then left before we answered: "has fesco considered disassemble fpc and pick up ack/nack/patch approach for guidelines changes proposal on the packaging list to make that process more efficient? If not I suggest you look into it and what benefits the fpc brings to the project over that approach" To which we replied you should open a ticket. That hasn't been done yet. Some of us expressed an initial resistance to doing anything along those lines. Personally, I have absolutely no idea why you asked the question or the reasons behind it so without further information I'd be disinclined to do anything. That's what the ticket is for. > If Fesco can explain to me the benefits of having FPC and the overhead it > follows vs proposed changes to the packaging guidelines to the packaging The FPC should be able to explain this themselves.

Sounds like working with them has paid off nicely. Maybe you should do more of that. > Let's just continue to cross finger hope that those that have been chosen > <-- yeah that's right not elected but chosen bother to show up to do their > due diligence and reach a quorum. The elections are open, and the voting is not rigged. You can be displeased all you like about who gets elected and what they choose (or not choose) to look at, but that doesn't make those committees a farce. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
