To avoid such problems, we created the "Project Modell" in the build service. This means that everything can get available there under the way and control by the people who contributing to that project. But this does not mean that everything has to go to Factory. There are even additional rules which needs to be fullfilled for Factory like: * common user interesst ( I think this is true for openVZ ). * quality and esp. security design flaws needs to be checked before * Maintainance needs to be ensured for two years. That needs a person who understand the code internals and can backport or create fixes for the version which was part of the release. Can we ensure this ? bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
