If thats a release, then everything suffers until release is done. When releases are happening every 6 months, this leaves very very little time for the Giant to pay attention to infrastructure. Asking to extend development time so that there is time to focus on infrastructure, while focusing on the next release could be possible. > I'm only left with the guess that you think doing both in > parallel need more workforce than we have currently, is that right ? > If it's the case it might be worth asking why there isn't more > volunteers > to help on the infrastructure. Another problem. Outsiders can't really do much. We're told that things are being worked on to help us contribute, and so far the only thing we can contribute is extras packages. Infrastructure is decided on behind mostly closed doors, and the only thing that has worked for community contribution is to just build something (like the Extras build system) and shove it in RH's face, so that they have to take it and use it. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (http://geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (http://www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (http://geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
