> Quite a few of us would like to see software we do personally use pushed > to Extras. Hi, I haven't been following this discussion, but I'd like to say that I don't want to see software I use pushed to extras due to the fact that Extras is not sync-ed to Rawhide. I am a rawhide beta tester, and extras is a pain for me to use. Do you know what kind of hackery is required to get the Nvidia driver from livna properly installed on a rawhide system? That's because Livna, like extras, is not sync-ed to rawhide. I'd like to see a rawhide-tracking extras, and I've asked this question before. I was explained that there are no resources for it. Until resources are found I suggest this be taken into account. By the way, that also implies you will get no testing for extras packages, leading to more bugs not being discovered until release. > I use Epiphany over Firefox, for example, but if Firefox is > the official Fedora Browser, then I want Epiphany in Extras.

Personally I don't get this whole "move to extras" thing. I assume it has something to do with fitting on fewer CDs, but I don't really care since I never install from CD. P.S. Speaking of the Nvidia driver, will somebody please consider splitting xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-devel and xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-devel in their own packages where they belong. I tried discussing this with the maintainer, but he disappeared in the middle of the discussion and the bug was left unresolved, pending FC4, which makes no sense to me. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145287 -- Ivan Gyurdiev <ivg2@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cornell University
