We might eventually get to that point. But there are some practical issues. For example, we're trying to provide an entirely unmodified Fedora. If we do that, then we can't version conary independently from Fedora as part of a platform. And Conary having a complete database is very different from a yum repository. So there would be no point in it without widespread interest in adopting this in the Fedora community. But I don't think that the value of the work we are doing depends on that happening. _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
