''dirk on July 25th, 2008.... With Moblin 2 (which we have talked about in the playground, but not put out to our community, yet - which is why there’s no discussion on this on moblin-dev) we decided to move to an rpm based distribution as that gave us better build tools and most importantly a better way to manage the licenses under which the individual packages are released. ...'' http://www.hohndel.org/communitymatters/moblin/moblin-at-oscon/ ''... In terms of Moblin, right when you (and Paul and ...) hit us with the Reg article, Dirk Hohndel was giving a 'chalk talk' about Moblin. Greg DeKoenigsberg, John Poelstra, and myself went to hear and get involved in the Q&A. In response to Greg's question ("What can I do for you?" handing him his business card), and the audience question about why switching from Ubuntu to Fedora, Dirk's responses were: * They already interface with Dave Jones and have for some time; Dirk feels that is a solid and legitimate way to interface, as he considers them downstream and need to push any changes back up in our direction and in other upstreams. * They switched to Fedora because they want to use RPMs ... so they can build in OpenSUSE's Open Build System. Greg took more careful mental notes than I did about the specifics, but Dirk had some functionality that, "Sorry, Koji does not have." * He didn't seem to be interested in Moblin as a feature of Fedora, per se. He's happy to work as a downstream entirely. ...'' http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2008-July/msg00198.html - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiPS9gACgkQOjLpvpq7dMpkkACgi+QfyoxcMOn+LK+HcZ7l6wKd BK4An3sEDq0QvmgynckVCrXrb/YQepIi =hFdB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
