Why not use the packages in official Fedora/EPEL? Do you intend to have much less strict policy of publishing incompatible upgrades ? I would much rather see the Fedora and EPEL packages being blessed as official ATS packages (and would love some help maintaining/testing them). I don't think there should be much problem having EPEL running at latest release, but fedora might have a bit more strict policy against incompatible upgrades within a fedora-release. I fear that if ATS starts pushing out-of-distro packages as the preferred version to run, my effort to maintain it in Fedora/EPEL will be a waste -- and we might end up without ATS natively in Fedora/EPEL. -jf
