But it does. The term "supply chain" refers to the process of acquiring, organizing, and distributing the necessary resources and components to build and maintain the distribution. This includes acquiring source code from various upstream projects, integrating them into the distribution, and then packaging and distributing the final product to end-users. The supply chain involves a variety of tasks such as software development, testing, quality assurance, responding to bug reports, documentation, and support. IOW, it is a process. It is the community that carries out the process. -Steve -- _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
