Note that when you follow the Fedora process, most of the stuff from the redhat.com blog post *happens*...it just happens on a remote system, or is wrapped by another command. Think of the Fedora process as being a way to apply things like centralized building and source control to the basic process described in the redhat.com blog post, because that's more or less what's going on. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
