Heh. That's why I started out asking whether there was any chance I'd be able to persuade you. :-) The thing is, another part of Fedora's packaging policy is to stay as close as possible to upstream. Ideally a package would apply no patches against upstream source; and performing major surgery on modules is definitely not a desired way to go about things. Second-guessing the upstream project is not a game I particularly want to get into. By that consideration I'm going to start out submitting the package for review in line with how you do things in the source distribution. I'm expecting they'll bring up the issues I've mentioned in this thread, but then again I may well be wrong and they'll consider it entirely unproblematic. Thank you for all the help and information! Cheers, -link -- When I decide that the situation is unacceptable for me, I'll simply fork the tree. I do _not_ appreciate being enlisted into anyone's holy wars, so unless you _really_ want to go _way_ up in my personal shitlist don't play politics in my vicinity. -- Alexander Viro on lkml _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
