We pass on a significant burden with regard to source distribution, to anyone re-distributing Fedora media or install images. I'd like to make sure that I understand how rpms created from SCM check-outs impact our ability and downstream distributor's ability to meet that burden. If we aren't doing something to cache a copy of the corresponding source that acts like our current look aside cache, I would need someone to explain to me how this sort of thing impacts the ability of a downstream distributor to meet the source distribution requirements... using extremely small words. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
