...or too few resources?...or too few resources?Posted Jan 19, 2008 3:00 UTC (Sat) by raven667 (subscriber, #5198)In reply to: ...or too few resources? by jd Parent article: Fedora developers on PackageKit
A third option would be for ISVs to more actively adopt the approach of licensing out building for commercial distros, so that they only have to focus on a very narrow range of builds for systems they want supported and which can't (for whatever reason) support themselves. This is the only kind of idea I see gaining any traction. I know that Novell has available a very comprehensive automated build environment and as I recall IBM does too. RedHat has their RedHat Exchange which kind of speaks toward this issue assuming that they provide some editorial control over the packaging of the software they resell. Distributors have to reach out, maybe even at a bit of a loss, to ISVs and help them make packages that don't suck because it affects the perception of the distributors entire ecosystem. RPM hell is not what a distributor wants to be known for.
