Unfortunately the compose part had nothing to do with the stability of the tree itself. It's all in the fragility of the infrastructure around making rawhide show up, and that's something we're continually working on. Given that we have extremely easy to use tools out there to compose trees, we really aren't tied to waiting for rawhide to show up. So long as it's a repo of packages we can use tools like pungi and livecd-creator to do composes on our own for testing. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
