hi, i just came across this discussion of an issue with the perl packages in fedora. the actual issue is not so large but it opens a great discussion on the roles of distributions, packagers and upstream, and touches on the goals of foresight:
http://lwn.net/Articles/348084/ the discussion gives some great insights on the problems facing everyone, and the expectations from all involved, including users. it's really worth reading if you want to think about what it means to be a packager, and how your work affects people, as well as how our goals as a distribution are looking in the light of the issues discussed. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix searching contract jobs: programming, training and administration - anywhere -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org open-steam.org unix sysadmin iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at caudium.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list Foresight-devel@lists.rpath.org http://lists.rpath.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
