[Fwd: Fedora & openSUSE meeting / cooperation ?]

/me wonders if this crossposting will work -- some mail will probably
hit only one list, some only the other, as both are moderated iirc :-(

Well, you wanted to hear opinions, so you get some. ;-)

Good idea in general, but I'd say you first should make sure that at
least Max or Spot (or some other people from the Board or FESCo) are
there -- that's only fair to Adrian.

As I wrote on fedora-devel (without getting an real answer from the LHCP
guys): I think that such a task really needs to be cross-distribution,
so I like the idea to cooperate, but I think we should try to get more
Distributions (Ubuntu, Gentoo, ...) into the boat.

Well, I don't like the idea to much -- it's might be cute for some ideas
like setting up a "let's create a KDE4beta-repo for FC6" (which is not
that hard to do with mock and some webspace), but I think the concept
leads to a "set up a lot of different repos for different things" --
that IMHO might quickly result in a lot of inter-repo-incompatibilities,
and that what I'd would like to avoid.

And I don't see any advantages for us using it (but maybe I missed
something).
