#61: Fedora Packaging Guidelines: Weak Dependencies on packages from third-party repos -------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: maxamillion | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: meeting | -------------------------+---------------------
Comment (by hguemar):
Well, this is something that can be worked out through. For instance, FPC could standardize "external" provides to use a namespace so that third- party repositories can fix their packages to work against ours. Third-party repositories can already break our packages, so this is not a new issue, all we can do is provide a standardized interface for them
The real blockers are weighting the legal risk, and how it affects our mission.
