First, "foreign binaries" are already allowed to run on Fedora. I certainly don't think we should break that. But that's not my interest *here*.

My goal is to expand that, not, somehow, the opposite. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ packaging mailing list -- packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to packaging-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
