Why on earth would you point someone to my wiki page...when the conversation is happening here..in an open list. What I do is not important.. no more important that what you do for this project. If you have the freedom to ask this list about implementing a flash service that mimics Ubuntu, then I have the freedom to request you bring technical specifics to the discussion instead of asking other people to do that work for you. You've brought this up for general discussion and I think its appropriate that you make the effort to address the concerns in public. What I do in the Fedora project is rather unimportant to the question at hand. The fact that I'm an elected representative on the Fedora Board and thus have been given a mandate by the Fedora community to guide overall project direction has absolutely no bearing on whether or not you provide the information I have asked for in this list in response to your interest. The question at hand is whether or not we can run a service in a way that is not in conflict to our policies concerning pointing people to 3rd party repositories. I continue to withhold judgment, until I can see the service code that Ubuntu uses to run their service. But I am skeptical we can do it via a service we ourselves host considering our current policy concerning not pointing our users to 3rd party repositories. Bastien has already hinted at the approach will probably end up making use of.. exposing mime types via rpm provides..which in turn can be resolved through repository metadata, which can all be done without a central service that we have to host. > All the code is in ubufox bzr branch link is here: > http://code.launchpad.net/ubufox Does that include the code for the service that ubuntu runs or is that just the client code that talks to the service? The client code isn't the issue... its the service we'd have to run centrally on Fedora project infrastructure that is going to be problematic. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
