We have yet to come to a point where we make a requirement on value. I would however state that I would very much like to see this tool have its own upstream project space hosted somewhere, with a clear upstream source release, that could be used beyond Fedora. I don't need to see Suse packages..but if this is meant to be a generally useful tool for rpm distributions..it should be handled that way as an upstream project. If this is meant to be Fedora specific, well then I think we might have a stronger case to be made that Fedora specific tools should integrate well with the existing direction. Having a package hosted out of fedora people is probably not a good idea. In fact its probably something we should forbid. There's a big difference between setting up a project at fedora hosted and throwing up a tarball on your fedora people space. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
