I do however think its a little funny that the > opensuse build service is being used to bootstrap Fedora, but more > power to open source collaboration :) I think they're missing out on the value of having a Fedora basis, they say on their wiki http://wiki.meego.com/ARM_Support : ''The initial goal is to get rid of the F12 dependency and start build MeeGo ARM in a self-contain environment.'' I wonder what their reasoning is for that since there's obvious value having a giant package universe well maintained and constantly uplevelled. It doesn't make any sense to just bootstrap from it and get away from it back into having to deal with all rootfs packages yourself again, carry patches, etc. Still, at least they got away from cross :-) -Andy _______________________________________________ arm mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
