Hi all, Some people are waiting to make fc3 extras end of life. I personally have a huge interest in fc3 extras not become stale and unmaintained. I have rebuilt all of extras for Aurora SPARC Linux* (except a few packages that have not built successfully) Aurora's latest build is based on fc3 which is why i have based the extras packages on the same. It is currently in beta status so i will be maintaining extras packages for awhile. I can understand that some maintainers do not want to support fc3 anymore. however I personally believe we should maintain support at least until Fedora Legacy no longer supports fc3 alot of users that use legacy will have extras packages installed also. for example i have 3 servers running fc3 at work and i have a file/ asterisk server at home running fc3. I use clamav and amavisd-new on the ones at work. What does this mean? extras and core need to be considered as one not two entities, both needing maintainence for the same period of time how do we do this? We have two options, one) existing package maintainers need to maintain there packages until legacy no longer supports a release. but a stipulation could be made that once a release moves to legacy the only updates in extras are bugfixes and security related. two) we create an extras legacy team, who would then take over maintainership of all extras packages once a release moves to legacy. though if a package maintainer wanted to continue support of his/her packages that would be beneficial. So which way are we going to move forward -- Regards Dennis Gilmore, RHCE Proud Australian * http://www.auroralinux.org * http://fedoramirror.net -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
