I'm happy to report that I'm finally feeing myself of everything Fedora! Starting around a year ago Fedora's red tape and horrible bureaucracy started turning me off. It all culminated with the legendary "No KMODs in Fedora" blanket policy on Sept 13. So obviously when I submitted open-vm-tools as a new package 5 days later (I didn't know they passed such a ridiculous policy at the time) here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=294341, it was rejected. Since then I've been migrating all my boxes at home and work away from Fedora/CentOS/RHEL to other distros and found the move to be very refreshing. Fedora now only lives in a couple VMs here at home for me to maintain my packages (a strange bit of irony, since it was Fedora's unwillingness to play nicely in a VM that pushed me away to begin with...), but I haven't even been doing a good job at that. Therefore, I am hereby relinquishing my responsibilities of everything Fedora, which include the following packages: eclipse-phpeclipse -- PHP Eclipse plugin maradns -- Security-aware DNS Server mod_auth_pam -- PAM authentication module for Apache php-json -- An extremely fast PHP extension for JSON php-pear-Mail-Mime -- Classes to create and decode mime messages php-pear-Mail-mimeDecode -- transcodes mime messages php-pear-Net-Sieve -- Communication with timsieved php-pecl-Fileinfo -- Fileinfo is a PHP extension that wraps the libmagic library php-shout -- PHP module for communicating with Icecast servers tripwire -- IDS (Intrusion Detection System) From the Horde groupware suite: horde -- The common Horde Framework for all Horde applications imp -- The Internet Messaging Program: webmail access to IMAP/POP3 accounts ingo -- The Horde web-based Email Filter Rules Manager jeta -- Horde Java SSH module kronolith -- The Horde calendar application turba -- The Horde contact management application Denis Leroy said throughout this process that such a blanket policy was shortsighted, would hurt Fedora more than it helped, and drive people away to other distros. He was right, I'm one of those people. Good luck clinging to your "principles", Fedora, and farewell. -Brandon
