The real bottom line here is very simple: if package A does not work on arch B, how close will we hold package A's maintainer's toes to the fire? To my mind, most open-source packages should aspire to work on every machine out there --- surely we all have a goal of world domination in mind? But I can see that some folks might have more limited goals, eg make game X work on hardware Y. If they publish their source code then I surely don't want to exclude them from the open-source community. I don't know how to resolve these tensions. But for the most part I think you should have a good excuse if you want to own a Fedora package that doesn't run on anything under the sun. If your goal does not include world domination, why not? regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
