Wish list for FC5 - add Nvu

[Davide Bolcioni]

Greetings,
my suggestion for FC5 is to include Nvu 1.0 alongside Firefox and 
Thunderbird, thereby almost replicating the functionality of the Mozilla 
suite.

Thank you for your consideration,
Davide Bolcioni

Hi Davide,

I believe the current plan is to reduce the size of Core (down from 4 to
maybe just 1 or 2 discs) and at the same time heavily expand Extras to
make it more an integral part of the Fedora distro. (correct me if I'm
wrong!) I'm all for this as long as Extras becomes a bit more mature
than it has been and we can spin CD's/DVD's of Extras for people to
download/buy too.

In any case, the path for getting a package into Core goes through
Extras so the package has to get in Extras first and get some approval
before it can possibly be moved to Core. More info on getting involved
with Extras here:

Remember that when you suggest something in the open source community
you've halfway volunteered to do it yourself ;)

Regards,

I've been meaning to get this packaged up for Extras for some time now, 
but haven't actually been able to get around to it.  If someone wants to 
help out, that would be appreciated.  It would pretty much need to build 
with the same options and patchset (more or less) that we do for the 
thunderbird and firefox builds.  Since Nvu is not based off the exact 
same branch, that proves to be slightly more difficult.  Anyway, this 
discussion belongs on fedora-extras-list, not here.
