No I don't. I just think that at this point the best way to prove that to him is simply to show it how it works out in practice. I still don't get why we have to argue that much about something like this .. is giving upstreams a well defined way how to ship there applications instead of letting them come up with a hack really that bad? Upstreams will always (and always had) seek was to do that .. simply because there is demand. No one is forcing anyone to install such apps. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
