I am a provenpackager and I would be *extremely* dissapointed if this came to become a reality. Package review is a good thing, no matter how skilled the packager is. I have packaged quite a few packages, mostly Java ones (65 to be exact) and I still make mistakes! Guidelines change, people miss things (such as bundling, licensing issues, wrong permissions, etc.). I will put it bluntly: getting rid of package reviews would be an incredibly stupid thing to do. -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotni...@redhat.com> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
