I would say "probably" - though the cheerleader inside me is certain, deep down to my blue pom-poms, that there are some consuming on Fedora as well :) I think Matt's question is going towards determining if this is a "workflow" thing - which could perhaps be intertwined with where RDO is mostly consumed - or if there are actual, technical issues with Fedora's infrastructure/build system (is it too slow? too bureaucratic? something else) that are of concern, since those are good things for Fedora folks to know. I think, at least in theory (I know someone will correct me if I'm totally wrong here) - Fedora's ability to actually "deliver RDO" shouldn't differentiate greatly from CentOS's, given that we largely use the same tools, we can do EPEL builds for EL5/6/7, etc. Where this starts to diverge is with the new magic that the CentOS Cloud SIG is working on; if there is essentially a Cloudified EL 6/7, with different bits in it than what is standard in EL 6, and dependencies that are quite possibly newer than what is in EPEL -- that is, for the moment anyway :D, something that Fedora can't really *build for* (build against?). So that might make sense. Or it could be something else. I guess my question would be - assuming that any of what I guessed at in the previous paragraph is in line with Mark's thinking - would the plan then be to simply build RDO for Fedora and CentOS/EL in each of their respective infrastructure homes? (I am assuming there is not a way to build for Fedora w/in CentOS infra, and keep those things in a CentOS repo, that I am woefully ignorant of... ) -robyn > > -- > Karanbir Singh > +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh > GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel >
