I think we managed to miss a few key points in the Change Proposal which is directly resulting in a bit of the confusion here. The first and most important of these is that ELN will *not* be building the complete Fedora package set. We're going to be building a selected subset of packages (derived from packages in RHEL 8 and EPEL). Our current expectation is that we are going to be looking at fewer than 2500 source packages. We are still working up the initial list of these and we will update the Change Proposal with it (as well as providing a fedora-devel post breaking down the known owners). Second, from this reduced subset, we expect that the overwhelming majority of the maintainers are Red Hat employees that already work on RHEL. With this in mind, we think that the level of concern about how this will affect non-Red Hat contributors is premature. We will reach out directly to those non-Red Hat contributors we identify. Finally, of the set of packages that we're going to be including, we anticipate around 200-300 of them will have distro conditionals that need investigation (with fewer needing actual modification). The ELN SIG will be doing this initial investigation and will provide guidance (and/or PRs) to affected packagers. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
