I really can't blame the people. Not everyone has the week of time to
package all the dependencies
one by one. But COPR is a nice shortcut to that so I can have what the
upstream is producing
without spending so much time and just re-using binaries produced
upstream. The same works for
pinging people to update their packages.
On the other hand ... if you don't have the time to properly maintain
a package, maybe you shouldn't push it to the official Fedora
repositories at all?
This only results in the worst outcome: Frustration for the packager
(don't have time to properly update) *and* users (package in Fedora is
out of date).
Pushing things in a
not-entirely-packaging-guidelines-compliant-but-maintainable-with-limited-time
form to COPR would be a way better solution here from the start.
I understand your point but this kind of packaging is starting to be so
demanding
that I fear that only a few people will be able to have packages in the
Fedora in
the future. And those will be pretty overloaded.

Jirka
