[Chiming in late here, I was traveling all last week...] Agreed. Breaking compatibility should need a strong technical reason, not just trying to change an association with a package name. This will risks breaking tooling and will make it harder to eg. maintain package portability across Centos and Fedora. Let's just chalk the /etc/yum.repos.d name as a historical fact at this point, and live with it --- there's plenty in the distro that we might change if we were trying to invent a new, perfect solution, but that we keep anyway for compatibility's sake. --Stephen -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
