Well, no, that's much longer than usual. The submission/QA workflow is described in the link above, and is generally perceived as too demanding, and/or slow. But I believe that will be streamlined somewhat in the near future. > <troll>It is generally faster to have packages included in Debian :-)</troll> :) Trolling aside, as it still at least for a short while stands, _no_ packages (for now, including updates to existing ones!) enter the Fedora Extras repositories without passing QA. That requires at least one approval from a "trusted" member, or two from "non-trusted", ie. anyone. The number of people using smart cards on Fedora does not seem to be that large because it has taken such a long time with practically no reviews :( _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle
