--- Comment #5 from Mick Weiss fedora@mickweiss.com 2011-12-01 14:20:45 EST --- First off, I'd like to apologise for the tone of my last comment but I think that you can understand my frustrations.
Remember one thing, at the end of the day: I'm just trying to help. It is just that this is more difficult than I originally thought it would be. (not from the technical side)
"opening a bunch of reviews for packages which are already in the distribution and already meet the packaging guidelines doesn't really show much understanding of the process"
Yes, I am new to this process. That is why I asked. I simply went with what I was told to do by two other developers.
I'd be curious to know though, what exactly is "the process"? I know that (according to you) it was a mistake to open a ticket. What would have been the best course of action? I asked before regarding a pointer to a wiki entry that I might have missed while reading the docs.
"Mick doesn't appear to have any interest in Fedora."
I honestly hope that this never gets taken out of context. :) To clarify: I <3 Fedora But this is an issue about 3 packages that I'd like to see in EPEL (which has nothing to do with Fedora or even packaging for Fedora) ;)
"I don't know."
That puts us both in the same boat.
I have a mentor now, so I hope that he can shed some light on this. He will most likely be commenting on this bug later on today.
