Why wouldn't you want to maintain it in > Fedora just because you are upstream? Because I think that being upstream and the primary maintainer of a package in fedora (or any distro) is not a very good idea. If there are conflict of interest between upstream and the distro (think about name space, install paths, quality), I think that having a maintainer who is not the primary upstream maintainer is a good thing. Having upstream co-maintain, or even do the packaging work is a good idea, but I think that upstream should not have the last saying for the package. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
