Well put, Paul. Packages that mostly run standalone are appropriate candidates for a rebase (like freehoo and firefox), but those that serve as libraries or building blocks for other components should try to stay as stable as possible from an ABI/API perspective.
I would like to add the distinction between "server" and "desktop" software. While both categories are not always disjoint, it this the distinction is useful nevertheless: Some things like Firefox, OpenOffice etc. can be updated more often than something like Exim, Apache, ... This is a bit like Red Hat does it these days. fs _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
