It would be terible if that should happen. I use the rpm's from kde-redhat,
and they are just so much better than the ones from the fedora project.
Apples and oranges.
The kde-redhat project doesn't fit into the Fedora Extras definition,
because it replaces packages in Fedora Core. That makes it either a Fedora
Alternatives style repository or a 3rd party repository with even more
freedom.
Working on Fedora Extras as an extended collection of packages doesn't
terminate kde-redhat's right to exist.
know because at work we have a standard fedora installation. I also
really
like various rpm's I get from freshrpms and from dags repository, but the
example of kde-redhat where the rpm's exist in fedora.us shows that sometimes
the willingness do them the best possible way is apparently not there.
Well, kde-redhat probably wants to remain a standalone repository, which
doesn't depend on anything else than Fedora Core. It could depend on
Fedora Extras, of course.
