I think most of the work (save from packaging) will be on the reliability side, as Fedora's infrastructure is more tightly integrated than ours. The "accepted by DSA part" is a bit complicated. We didn't really want to bother one of the busiest teams in Debian when the software wasn't even packaged, and, when it came up, I felt that the reception of the idea of using fedmsg was a bit lukewarm. I think we should be able to work things out when and if we have a working proof of concept. > [snip] Cheers, -- Nicolas Dandrimont BOFH excuse #88: Boss' kid fucked up the machine
