Before Salim and I visited the LUG in Hanau we decided to visit the TSV Pfungstadt (a little indirection about 180km) to eat what we saw in the television (Galileo on Pro7 with Jumbo Schreiner) last week.

Dear [nickname]

your project [projectname] looks like very interesting. I installed it on my
pc and i like it.
I want to create a rpm-package for the GNU/Linux-Distribution Fedora [1], but
your package comes with some unmodified libs which are standard in every
distribution and build against them. The Fedora Guidelines [2] says that
it’s not allowed to use internal dependencies if they are in Fedora [3]. I
have to patch them out on every release. To make it easier you could use the
system-libs to compile it. It works, i tested it on F10 and F11 and add the
patch for your buildsystem as attachment. It would be very nice, if you adopt
this to your project.

Kind regards
Simon

His/her answer:

Dear Simon,

I don’t give a fuck. Fedora isn’t mainstream and Fedora isn’t important (and it
never will be) and Fedora-Guidelines are Nazi-like.
It’s in Ubuntu and Debian so you can adopt it or leave it out. It’s not my
problem, it’s yours.
