Yes, this is a valid point. However, I think there are - you know - rather a *few* notable differences between the two. Starting with: I am pretty sure still today that Red Hat pays for the time of most people who work on the existing infrastructure and the server bills, and has done so for the entire 19 year existence of Fedora. Also of salient note, to the best of my knowledge the dist-git equivalent for Amazon Linux's isn't public. CentOS Stream is, and synergy between the two is exactly what I'm talking about. We have no idea what source control they use for their forks of packages; I somehow doubt it's gitlab or pagure, but who knows. But still your point is valid in that it *would* be interesting to know what Amazon Linux folks think. > It is (partly/indirectly) > an upstream to other RPM distributions. If you're implying we (Fedora) > need to follow what our downstreams do for development; I think using absolute terminology (here, "need") is setting up a strawman. I personally think of things much more in terms of "centers of gravity", that influence each other. I'm saying that the influence and needs of those of us who must use gitlab.com/redhat to succeed at our jobs should matter a not small amount. Also to be very clear - I consistently use my personal email for FOSS interactions; I'm not speaking for "Red Hat" as any kind of whole. I am expressing my personal, day to day annoyance at having to use 3 different git forges to succeed at my job (all at the same company!), and it would be a notable improve to go down to two. (But again again, I am *sure* there are those who disagree with me too! Would love to maybe do a survey) But, eh. We could just leave this as the status quo; we all have other problems to solve too. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
