Are there enough people around such that we can make a start at something that is not separate as d-apt is from Debian, but is an integral stepping stone to the Fedora repository. It may be that doing a Fedora equivalent of d-apt is a first step. Given the relatively low traffic initially, I can host a repository at some URL such as fedora.dlang.org or some such, we can experiment with fedora.winder.org.uk maybe. The issue is setting up a Git build framework that does all the RPM builds automatically. This is the successful basis for Debian, Fedora and I suspect d-apt. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
