So basically the module squad have managed to ensure that everything
that relies on ant to build is going to have to modularise or else be
forced out of the distribution then...
Once more with feeling: if you want ant as a package, all that is
needed
to make that happen is for you to step up and maintain it.
This has nothing to do with modularisation.
This has everything to do with modularisation.
Modularisation creates a situation where work results are no longer
shared by default, so you can have someone that makes ant work in his
own module, and the rest of the distro can not use it
That's the problem when the goal is to avoid software conflicts and the
"solution" is to blindly partition things. You can not have partitioning
without hitting the Fedora "share" value hard, unless you are very
careful to put mecanisms in place so all the people that ask for
partitioning still share things by default.
For every packager modules claim to woo because conflicting versions
become possible, how many will be lost because the base Fedora system is
drained from useful reusable packages and becomes useless?
