FC3 -> RHEL4.
FC6 -> RHEL5.
Presumably, F9 -> RHEL6.
With me so far?
How is maintainership handled when RHEL is based on a Merged (WRT
Core/Extras) Fedora? Pre-merge, Core->RHEL and is maintained by RH folk,
and Extras->EPEL, and is maintained by the community. Post-merge, there
are lots of packages maintained or co-maintained by community folks that
are either historically Core or might be considered so in the process of
choosing packages for RHEL6.
Let's say a package was brought into Fedora and is maintained by a non-RH
person, and RH wants to put it in RHEL6. Who maintains it? The current
maintainer or someone in RH? What about EPEL? Presumably not an EPEL
candidate then?
Normally, I couldn't care less whether someone is RH or non-RH from a
maintainer perspective, I'm just curious about how the above will work.
Probably a non-issue.
Thanks,
Jon
