What's the reason for not taking them into Fedora - > except those packages with non-floss licenses? This should be the only reason. I think that preventing packagers to do compat package is wrong. But in general FESCO give reason to the main packager (and if I remembmer well it was also the case of a parallel installable newer version). In my opinion, instead, packagers should be co-maintaining the main version when they do a compat package, and that's all. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
