OK. I think I've read the whole old thread now :-)
First of all: I *will* package compat-python and Zope/Plone, because
I need it at work. The only question is if Fedora/FESCo wants me to
share my work with the Fedora community or not!
FYI, note that compat-python24 and compat-zope are already in livna
(and I assume then also rpmfusion).
Perhaps you could offer to help maintain those with their maintainer
there? Even less work, since they are already packaged/used.
I've taken these packages as a starting point. I will need additional
python modules and I do also need compat-python23 and why not take these
packages into Fedora. Why is everyone wicked about maintaining packages
in a third party repository? I know rpmfusion and most packages seem to
be quite good. What's the reason for not taking them into Fedora -
except those packages with non-floss licenses?
Just a note for those not familiar with the habits from Livna/RPM
Fusion: Livna/RPM Fusion normally doesn't take any packages that are
suitable for Fedora (¹).
Back then we tried our best to get compat-python directly into Fedora,
but those efforts failed. Hence Livna accepted compat-python (and hence
it made its way to RPM Fusion). But I'm all for moving compat-python* to
Fedora, so I really appreciate your efforts Oliver!
CU
knurd
(¹) yes, now and then a package accidentally slipped through (or
suddenly becomes suitable for Fedora); but all of them afaik have been
moved to Fedora or are in the process of moving (the last one I know cam
from Dribble as is under review for Fedora now)
