Heartily seconded. The lack of a well-defined, stable submission policy
is the biggest problem I have with Fedora right now,
Yesterday I released an alpha of a new project called "shipper". The blurb:
shipper is a power distribution tool for developers with multiple
projects who do frequent releases. It automates the tedious process
of shipping a software release to several standard places, including
ibiblio, the Red Hat submission directory, and your own hosted
website. It also knows how to post a release announcement to
freshmeat.net via freshmeat-submit. Two auxiliary tools, buildrpms
and rpm2lsm, build RPMs and generate LSM files from them respectively.
Right now shipper knows about three public channels: ibiblio, the Red Hat
submission directory, and freshmeat.net.
I'd like to add a "Fedora repository" channel that it can ship RPMs to.
That channel, apparently, has yet to be defined.
