As divergence among the forks occurs and the community shifts away, retaining Redis will just hurt us in the long term. Not to mention, now that they've pulled this change on us (after saying they wouldn't five years ago), there's no guarantee that they'd continue to do anything. Their word isn't worth a lot anymore. > Some other technical questions: > - it could be advantageous if the new compat sub-package contained > the redis binary symlinks & not the primary valkey package (this could > allow valkey and redict packages to coexist, for example).

We will probably never be able to completely drop this, as stuff may exist for a very long time that needs it. > - what happened to the man page patch Remi made? we should carry > it forward into the new package (and try again with new upstream folks > to get it merged there). That patch should be completely rewritten for upstreaming anyway. It's not written in a maintainable format, which really doesn't help for upstreaming at all. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ 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
