As am I, > honestly. Perhaps I didn't chose my words carefully enough though, please put that on account of me not being a native english speaker and allow me to rephrase: I only depend on this package being in EPEL6, so I have a particular interest for this branch. In other words, that is a positive statement about the EPEL6 branch, it is not a negative statement about the Fedora ones. I will take care of this packages in all the branches it has been pushed to, but as a maintainer, I have always thought I had the right to decide in which branch I would push my package. > EPEL is supposed to be an easy way to get Fedora packages on RHEL, > but statements such at that make it seem that Fedora is merely an annoyance > required to get things into EPEL. That's not the case. In the past I have only ever contributed to Fedora, since I have never needed anything in EPEL. But if someone had asked me to push one of my packages to EPEL (and if I had the required amount of time to take care of it afterwards), then I would have. This time, it is the other way around: I only need this package in EPEL6, but I will take care of it in Fedora as well. Actually, if Ralf's (or anyone else's for that matter) initial comment had been « I'd like to see this package in Fedora 14 as well, and will help you maintain it in this branch », then I would have asked for it and set him as co-maintainer. I would even have made the initial builds and update requests, since I was doing all that for Rawhide and EPEL6 anyway, and we'd have coordinated the next builds/updates, as is certainly the case for any package maintained by more than one person. But you'll agree that it would have been a very different request from « I don't consider it reasonable », which (at least to me) sounds more like « you will do all the work because I say so ». -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
