Language specific mirrors for Fedora Playground compliant packages

As mentioned in my self-introduction email, I'm interested in the idea of filtered Fedora provided mirrors of PyPI/RubyGems/etc that contained only packages that had been through Fedora Playground levels of review. Having such selective mirrors available would mean that we could freely choose between using the language level packaging tools and RPMs on a project by project basis without having to recheck the licenses ourselves. It would also provide a way for us to easily share the results of our own licensing reviews when we bring in new dependencies from upstream. I believe this approach would also set up a good pipeline for bringing new packages into Fedora: Step 1: basic review - if the package is even remotely acceptable to Fedora (e.g. suitable license, not actively malicious), then flag it for inclusion in the appropriate language specific mirror Step 2: draft spec file - make an initial cut at a spec file (e.g. autogenerated) - provide as a COPR repo - include in Fedora Playground Step 3: full packaging policy compliance - iterate on the spec file and the package to attain policy compliance - incorporate into Fedora itself Does this sound like an approach worth pursuing? In the specific case of Python, devpi is an existing project that I believe would be eminently suitable to providing a service like this (using the whitelisting feature to indicate packages which had been checked for Fedora Playground policy compatibility): http://doc.devpi.net/ Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan Red Hat Hosted & Shared Services Software Engineering & Development, Brisbane HSS Provisioning Architect
