You overestimate our powers. We do not have a say what goes into RHEL repositories. :)
You're totally right ! :) My question was not properly formulated...
Seriously speaking, we tend to not prepare distribution specific files. Developers time is best spent working on features and bugfixes. The results are beneficial to all users, regarding of the distribution or operating system they're using.
Ok, that was what I was wondering: if distribution specific files were planned or not.
Our hope is that packages will be done by people who are experienced with packaging software for specific distributions or operating systems. We will do our best to accommodate any changes necessary, providing they won't conflict with other distros. In particular, we do not want to include system specific scripts. For example, some time ago we received scripts for systemd for distribution X. We didn't include those scripts in Kea sources, because we know that for distribution Y those may look slightly different. And since there's no single "right" way to write those scripts, we simply chose to not do it.
That makes sense, obviously.
Now that we published 1.0.0-beta, it may be a good time to start packaging Kea.
Indeed. It would be a good thing to have Kea in the package management system of some distros. It would be easier for admins to deploy and use, and would facilitate Kea's adoption.
Hope that helps.
Yes, thanks.
