[I doubt any simple import would work as the two systems are so far apart in data structures.. but some sort of merging might be possible.] I believer we are working on how that would be possible but it will take a lot of focus which means other things wanted get droppeed or we drop focus on it for a while to make other things happen. > > > -- > 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel > -- Stephen J Smoogen. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
