A lot of open source development communities are -- dare I say it -- fairly cliquish. A random end-user's bug reports or questions are often pretty much ignored. (I recognize that this isn't out of malice, BTW. Everyone is busy and we all have to do a sort of "social triage" to stay sane.) In many cases, the Fedora packager has built up a level of credibility with the development community that could get a bug report the attention that it deserves. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno@xxxxxxxxx Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying. ======================================================================== -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
