I am surprised that, since this bug was started, no one suggested rpmfusion. In all honesty, in order to get a fully-featured Fedora, packages from rpmfusion are a must. For example, the nvidia driver is a must-have for the type of work that I do. Personally, I see rpmfusion as part of Fedora. So, please, let us put FreeCAD and OCC in rpmfusion. That way it _will_ be in Fedora, and this will be the compromise that Fedora makes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
