Would you like to list examples of duplicate work?? I guess someone besides Danny has a working preempt kernel rpm (for example)? Unless there is a vast quantity of packages that have been duplicated, the whole argument is senseless at present.

Would you want to 1)restrict RPMs to ever be created by the few that have contrib access 2)force contributors to follow cooker to find why their packages build at home but not on cooker? 3)Force people to wait for something to get into contrib, when they have a working rpm for a stable release, and the end-user also is running a stable release. > >>There is absolutely no control on "what's uploaded" on my side, but >>volunteers need to pas a test before getting upload permissions, and we >>can also revoke the permission in case they start producing bad packs. > > Same for contributers (aka: people with an account on klama) > > >>This is quite close to Debian way of doing things, and IMO much better >>than the system where one person is supposed to check all incoming >>packs... > > I guess you're refering to the past when Lenny was alone.
