Mint 12 was released 6 weeks after Ubuntu 11:10. Given this delay Fedora 17 will either be frozen or even released. While the Mint developers are free to delay their release, Fedora has a tight schedule *and* happens to be *the* GNOME upstream distribution. We have the maintainers of GNOME and GTK and none of them will wait for you to fix Cinnamon. I wish you good luck with your effort! > they have also incorporated alacarte into cinnamon That is a dirty hack, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734442 (In reply to comment #31) > There > are valid concerns with any forks surrounding maintenance etc but that is not > part of the package review process. Quote from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process "The purpose of this formal review is to try to ensure that the package meets the quality control requirements for Fedora. This does not mean that the package (or the software being packaged) is perfect, but it should meet baseline minimum requirements for quality." Anyway, I don't want to prevent cinnamon from getting into Fedora or delay the process. I just want to express my concerns and wish all of you good luck. -- 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
