Most of those projects have maintainers who respond in a somewhat timely fashion, and/or a public source tree (CVS, svn, etc.), and/or other forms of not-just-Red Hat participation. Certainly most Fedora projects have "upstream." That's fine. What is not fine is a project that just sits there like a bump on a log despite open Bugzilla issues and demonstrated interest from "downstream" Fedora. > Note that elfutils is directly required by a number of packages within > Fedora Core and thus can't just be removed According to "rpm -qR elfutils" they are [excluding self references]: libc.so.6 libdl.so.2 /sbin/ldconfig which are all part of glibc. So elfutils can be flushed just by merging it into glibc. Everybody else uses binutils. Not many developers have ever used the "eu-" versions of nm, strip, size, readelf, addr2line. -- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
