Stupid idea, pagure offers the possibility to "tag" projects. Could this be useful? We could then export this list of tags via a cron job and reintegrate this data where we then want/need it. Pros: - support multiple tags (comma delimited) - in the hands of the packager (cf Kevin Kofler's email) - not in comps Cons: - it's a free-form input field, so packager could add anything and everything including things we do not care about. -> So maybe we need a list of categories we care about somewhere and we only integrate packages having one or more of these categories and ignore all the other ones Pierre _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
