Jeff Spaleta more or less outlined the background thoughts I was having about it - envisioning building all of our fruits for consumption on the enemy territory was a bit scary. Daniel Berrange and Richard Jones explained the libvirt background which more than justifies this move, thanks for explaining. But what I'd like to still see addressed is whether there will be a policy of what other tools/apps are acceptable for Fedora. mingw, libvirt etc. do have their justification as a means to an end, but what happens when Joe Random Packager discovers the mingw package and thinks this is an invitation to rebuild all of Fedora for Windows (where possible) and submit as a new package? Do we want this? If not how do we prevent this or communicate it properly to the packager base? -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
