Additional questions are: Does FESCo have to ack the Architecture Leads? What exactly constitutes the buildsystem? E.g. if koji is running on a different distribution, it's not building the packages with the same toolset that the primary architectures are on. (I realize there is a chicken/egg scenario here). How are Secondary arch releases suppose to go about getting official "Fedora" status? Are torrents/URLs to Secondary arch releases to be linked from the fedoraproject.org website assuming they are granted Fedora status? josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
