Re: [hylafax-users] Hylafax RPMS for Fedora Core 3

Lee,

Clearly you _do_ want to start the debate again, or you would not be posting 
the comments you have been, causing people to wonder where they're going to 
get their RPMs now.

For the record, iFAX has no plans to discontinue maintaining RedHat RPMs for 
HylaFAX. They were being compiled here yesterday, and will be available for 
download shortly. We have a few new architectures available and a tidied up 
naming scheme, along with some of the more valuable patches since the 4.2.1 
release was announced, so they should be pretty useful.

Your public postings are in no way a fair representation of our private 
conversation. You objected to iFAX advertising our support services in the 
RPMs that people download from ftp.hylafax.org. Despite the fact that iFAX 
provides this FTP facility to the community in the first place, I understood 
where you were coming from, and decided to either:

a) remove the advertising and keep the RPMs on hylafax.org
b) provide an alternative download link that's not on ftp.hylafax.org and 
keep the advertising in.

There was no 'insisting' on keeping it. That's ridiculous.

Time constraints and the rebuilding we had to do on essential services 
recently has diverted attention from this matter, and so we have simply 
removed the advertising from the RPMs for now. We don't have time to open a 
discussion on binary package policy and/or restrictions, reach concensus and 
then restructure the way packages are, or are not organized on 
ftp.hylafax.org. We will do so, but not for _this_ RPM release.

I wish you'd stop posting divisive and misleading comments in public forums.

-Darren
