That doesn't actually matter from the perspective of Fedora. What matters is if these components are versioned, released, and supported together. To put it in developer terms: a monorepo is a Git repo of multiple projects that have independent release lifecycles. The only reason they are there is because the developer wants them there. That's in contrast to say the Linux kernel, which has a huge uniform repository of components developed by separate people that are released together and considered a single unit from a release lifecycle perspective and share versioning. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ 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
