It basically comes down to this, if a 3rd party is not doing something you like: 1. Communicate what's wrong on the 3rd party's mailing list. (Not on fedora's.) 2. Offer specs, patches, mechanisms, or scripts via 3rd party's mailing list and/or bugtracker. If that fails to alter the course of the 3rd party repo into a direction you like, then you have the following choices: 1. Don't use the 3rd party repo. 2. Fork it and create your own. 3. Import packages into a repo that caters to your policies. 4. Rant about it randomly. Anyway, this is all way off topic. The conclusion of this thread is: If there is a 3rd party repo having difficulty integrating with Core/Extras because of a Versioned Obsoletes problem, then hang a bugzilla for that specific package. Otherwise, Core/Extras has no obligation to take on a massive undertaking that would cater to 3rd party repositories. That's it. -- -jeff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
