I'm against this. We have never blocked the OS on proprietary third- party applications. I don't think it's a path we want to go down. I'm in favour of testing common third-party stuff before release and fixing it if we can, but we have always said we will not block Fedora on this, and I don't think we should change that. (I did actually test Steam, but I used the flatpak version, not RPM...) I'm fixing the zenity bug, BTW. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
