I assume you've also considered https://codeberg.org/redict/redict as an alternative? Redict seems more open to helping distributions. Redict already plans to remove its in-tree, patched lua copy to benefit distributions like ours that favor system libraries. It has committed to using FOSS infrastructure (Codeberg, builds.sr.ht, Matrix, IRC, FOSS container registry) instead of proprietary infrastructure (Github, Discord) which is something that Fedora also values. It was started by Drew Devault of Sourcehut who has a strong commitment to FOSS. On the other hand, some of the original contributors and the Linux Foundation have gotten behind Valkey. I would at least address Redict in passing in the Change proposal even if you've already decided that Valkey is the better choice. -- _______________________________________________ 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
