We're on a wild tangent now, but there are valid reasons we do not have the entire Fedora git history in an internal git instance despite many people expecting it. I doubt those are going to change during the life of RHEL 9. Also, I'm not concerned about rpmautospec Fedora packages. New imports into EL9 would import an SRPM, not from Fedora git. This is really a 3 year down the road thing. I can certainly understand and agree with the sentiment here, but I think we need to figure out a better way to show attribution in general. RPM changelogs are extremely arcane, and disjoint package git repos aren't really cutting it either. josh _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
