And that's quite some consolation, no? ;-) The implementation of some kind of 'app level packaging system' divorced from distros' historic package formats seems like a fairly valuable opportunity to finally improve the level of interoperability between Debian-derived and non-Debian-derived distros. If, instead, we turn it into an opportunity to argue about who was being a dick first and then cheerfully prolong the existing, needless divides without even making a serious attempt at working together, that...seems like something of a waste. And an invitation to a system that _does_ work across distros, like OH SAY STEAM, to eat everyone's lunch. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
