Fedora 7 release delayed
Perhaps my ideas where mis-interpreted, but, I simply proposed a less
centralized methodology for Fedora. If it is a "Fedora" signed package,
then it will hold true to the "Fedora" ideals. I think this merging will
in the end be counter-productive as it will increase the burden on Fedora
to maintain the lot. Perhaps the P2P argument doesn't fit in to this
particular argument, but it does extend the idea of a more distributed
repository model. The primary differnce in my idea of using P2P is that
packages can be maintained centrally or be distributed and still be Fedora
packages, or they could be "liva", or "atrpms", or "dries, etc. The more
we have in the game the better. With P2P, anybody can join the game, even
if they have a single package or script they wish to share. Whether they
choose GPL or BSD or whatever is entirely up to them. This does not taint
Fedora as only Fedora can sign their own packages.
