Is this true open source, or is it a Novell product management decision? Who is the project lead on YaST? How does one submit patches? Who decides what is accepted and what is rejected?
Not because not every patch is accepted into the _mainline_ source does not make it less opensource. Not every patch gets in by Linus in the kernel and that does not make it less opensource. That is why you are always free to fork. Patches are reviewed in lot of dimensions, by lot of people, manly maintainers and lead developers. And whether they fit into the project is done in a case by case basis, and of course community demand is also taken in count (when is possible to define community, and no, that is not how much noise one guy makes in a mailing list :-) ) Duncan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
