install of Fedora?
Another example - I have two projects in Copr:
* spark-cli - command line interface for Spark Core
* nanoblogger - blog with just static pages generated by bash sript
I have no intention to get them into main Fedora. Mostly because I
am not willing to fix bugs. I just packaged it for
myself. It works for me and it may work most people. Therefore I
assume that it may be useful for somebody out there.
We (as Fedora) simply could not package and maintain everything
with the same quality.
I understand the usefulness of copr for software in development,
experimental builds, personal projects, work in progress, etc. I
even understand making software there discoverable via a web-based
search page -- which you already have.
What I don't understand is the wisdom of an official Fedora "product"
endorsing a copr when either the software or packaging (or both) is
not of sufficient quality to make it into the official Fedora repo.
