Do we want to permit packages in Fedora Extras, which install and enable by default a 3rd party repository? Forwarded message below. It doesn't affect me personally, but in general it would be a tendency I dislike, particularly since this broke the user's system due to unavailability of the added repo. I don't want to file a bug report about this without prior backing from the FPG.

Highly questionable, since those updates ought to be provided within Fedora Extras. This asks for a new policy. Makes me wonder whether this has been like that during package review already or whether the packager added it later. > > Any ideas, how to work around this one? > > I disabled clement.repo > What does clement have to do with yum??? -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
