Description:
Differences of opinion, as well as outright disputes, between
upstream open-source projects and Linux distribution packagers over
packaging practices are nothing new. It is rarer, though, for those
disputes to boil over to threats of legal actionbut a
disagreement between the Open
Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio project and Fedora packagers
reached that point in mid-February. After escalation to a higher
authority things have been worked out to the satisfaction of the OBS
project, but some lingering questions remain. How Fedora should
prioritize Flatpak repositories,
how to handle conflicts between upstreams and Fedora packagers, and
the mechanics of removing or retiring Flatpaks all remain open
questions.
