I think that contrib is quite a bit different from the kind of
involvement we would like from the Community. Packaging software is
pretty easy, contrib programs normally bring in a lot of software that
is of questionable value. It also produces a volume of software that
is impossible to provide support for. That doesn't mean that I don't
think that a better contrib program would be a bad thing. A well-run,
easily accessible software repository with known-good packages can be
quite valuable.
What I'd like to encourage is for people to come to redhat-devel-list
to make comments, suggestions, complaints, and even patches to the
core Red Hat Linux distribution. If you have a pet peeve bug that
really bothers you, bring it out into discussion here. Want to
implement new and interesting interdependency mechanism for service
initscripts? Talk about how it should be done here... Etc.
We've always welcomed developer feedback. I just think we need to
communicate which forums are best for which kinds of feedback and
participation better.
Cheers,
Matt
