I want GNOME Software to prefer Fedora sources before third party ones. For me, I also would prefer RPM > Flatpak, because I don't like the experience I've had with Flatpaks and Flathub, but that's a different preference. GNOME Software should always offer Fedora content first, because it's first-party. If a Fedora RPM and a Flathub Flatpak are on the table, it should prefer to offer the Fedora RPM. GNOME Software should not be implicitly discouraging the Fedora community's efforts. Keep in mind the alternative to people packaging RPMs isn't that they do something else, it's that they stop contributing entirely. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
