Right, generally, if you package for livna or jpackage, you're sitting pretty good. There's a lot of history behind this along with different packagers being in the right place at the right time. Basically, a specific repo has a social status and requires high merit points to get things moving in a direction that they need. It's a bit like us as individuals ... based on meritocracy and getting an inside scoop. Besides social engineering, there is no other formal mechanism to push forward smooth operation between Core/Extras and a third party. If users are not privy to the fact that Core packages have to be updated sometimes, then they can either fork or not use. It's a pretty simplistic view of things, but, it's the truth. -- -jeff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
