Here's the thing.... for cross-distribution standardization to work... multiple distributions have to be willing to do it. We just plant a flag and go our community built packaging guidance is a de-facto standard and everyone else should follow us.. but its not really gonna work. There has to be a real desire from the stakeholders who need to adopt the standard to work on it and agree to using it. You aren't adding anything to the discussion by repeatedly telling us that the situation is suboptimal. I don't really think you have any real concept as to what's going on in the space, and as such I think you need to back off from accusations that the Fedora packaging community isn't interested in collaborating with other distros on standardization. Make an effort to inform yourself more fully as to what each distro is prepared to collaborate on so next time you want to throw accusations around, you have some specific things we should be doing in terms of collaboration with willing partners. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
