Most Fedora software was originally created for other Linux or Unix systems, or in a distro-neutral form, and is then packaged as RPMs to be installed in Fedora, possibly with patches. The original software is said to be "upstream" of the package. For example the many Gnome or KDE packages in Fedora are derived from the respective Gnome and KDE projects "upstream" of them. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
