I think when I'd looked at it I'd discounted the review and comment on others' submissions process as it would seem to require you to have a better idea of what you're doing than the person submitting the package, and potentially just creating noise when other people are looking at it too. Yes, probably a good idea maintainers know how to package. :) > Random fire'n'forget builds in a public Fedora repo would be something > that would scare me. This is sort of a situation we have by default, as it's simpler for people to package into the SUSE public repo. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
