My experience has been that when a packager actively maintains a package, the number of bugs fixed due to packager activity far outweighs the number of bugs introduced. We do not just blindly consume upstream. The work of a distribution is integration work, which few upstreams even think about. In the process of doing that integration work, we discover problems with upstream code, upstream build systems, upstream interactions with other components, and feed bug reports and patches back upstream. Many packages are in better shape *for everyone* because they were packaged for Fedora. Of course, if you've got a packager who isn't paying attention, things can deteriorate. That's why we have mechanisms for finding and orphaning packages that don't appear to be maintained. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ 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
