I would do it the other way, split out the package configuration into a fedora-package-config subpackage. > The entire point of fedora-release is basically to contain this stuff > which ends up having to change at the last minute so that we can contain > the number of changes which are needed when we're trying to build final > trees. Also, it means one stop shopping for changing from, say, Fedora > to JoeBob's Distro :) But then hell breaks loose and people accuse JoeBob of forking fedora, when all he wanted to do is either provide decent mirrors (local or not) for his users or additional repos. Having to replace fedora-release to do that results in for example: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnMahowald/ATrpmsWarning Please check out the package split that ATrpms has been providing for FC3 and FC4: http://atrpms.net/name/fedora-release/ contents are the same as for the monolithic fedora-release package, users only get the freedom to replace package configuration with their own liking. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
