Just shear nonsense. Please don't read into my comment of "good move forward" to much. I still think the CentOS project has allot of growing to do and I disagree with more things then I agree with at this point. I just see any step forward into transparency is a good thing, however I think they could use a good hard look at the Fedora and Debian projects. Fedora and Debian in my opinion are both superior to the way CentOS opens community development. Having one developer doing all the packaging (Johnny) is a waste of resources and intelligence. A simple repository where we can all contribute to the build cycle would be far more beneficial in the long run for the project. However, they are currently worried about people "stealing" their work and starting their own rebuilds of RHEL, which if that was going to happen it would have already. The SL team opens their build process and we can get close enough with Fedora to make a good start. Some of the developer paranoia needs to go, and more community involvement needs to happen still. However the QA system is a good step forward and like I said, hopefully the first of many over the next few years. -- Steven Crothers steven.crothers at gmail.com
