The point behind all this is the candidate to demonstrate his "understanding". As I see it, "number of packages" isn't actually related to this kind of "understanding". "3 to 5 packages" can mean a packager blindly and mechanically copying other people's works without him actually having understood what he is doing. On the other hand, there are candidate packagers with a long history in packaging and deep understanding which simply are "new to Fedora" and are unfamiliar to the "Fedora packaging" process. In these cases, "3 to 5" packages may easily be a too high measure. Ralf -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
