Hi all,

Since those making packaging guidelines and other rules seem to be out
of touch with the workfloor these days I would like to propose the
following guideline for rulemakers:
Those making guidelines / rules within the Fedora project must
actively maintain atleast 30 packages.
Rationale: How can one make rules if one isn't involved in that which
is regulated oneself?
</humor>
Packaging guidelines also cover licensing details which isn't connected
to workflow. There are several other policies within the guidelines
which involve some amount of politics (kernel modules anyone?). This
rule would mean that everybody who proposes any drafts, folks in the
packaging committee and FESCo would have to maintain 30 packages.
Yes it would, and that would be a good thing! Let the people building the
distro decide how it is build! As for licensing issues, since RH is paying
mosts of the bills at the end RH decided what is okay licensing wise, and to me
they have earned that right, because "paying the bills" == "building the distro"
I don't want to misinterpret what you're saying here, so I'll ask you
straight out.
Are you suggesting that because I do not maintain 30 packages I am
unqualified to be a member of FESCo?
You're taking me to serious here, notice the <humor> at the top of the original
post. I've no intention to actually try and instantiate such a rule. I'm
however woried that there seems to be a growing drift between the rule makers
within Fedora and those running the primary process.
Regards,
Hans
