But lets do the right thing rather than just doing something. Going by the popularist current mood of people on this list, I think people just want early access to a codebase they can start using for their own use...
I thought that was the very definition of an open process...
What came to my mind on my way home from the office: Maybe Karanbir has a different definition of 'community' (wasn't that what the 'C' in 'CentOS' was for?) in mind...?
I do understand the conflict, just pointing out the other side. The goal for Centos isn't so much to build a 'better' distro by accumulating fixes that make it better for particular purposes as it is to build as nearly exact a copy of RHEL as legally permitted.
Sure, this is what I understand. However, does this exclude people willing to help (read: raising the manpower of the project rebuilding RHEL)? If so, yes, I misunderstood.
But community involvement happens because people need to fix something for their own use.
So, the mirrors exist because nobody fixes things? ;)
