There is a FAQ item about this, but it is woefully short on detail :-( http://openstack.redhat.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_does_RDO_mean_for_OpenStack_on_Fedora.3F Basically there is no change to current Fedora practice. To expand on this, Fedora will continue to ship whatever the latest OpenStack release is, at the time when each Fedora release cycle hits its development freeze date. RDO will not attempt to duplicate that. RDO will only distribute Fedora packages for OpenStack versions which are not already included in the corresponding Fedora release in question. So for example, Fedora 18 ships with Folsom, Fedora 19 will ship with Grizzly, and Fedora 20 will (likely) ship Havana. Thus RDO will provide Grizzly packages for Fedora 18 only, and Havana packages for Fedora 18 [1] & Fedora 19. RDO will not attempt to provide Grizzly for Fedora 19, nor Havana for Fedora 20, since that would be duplicating official Fedora packages. So RDO will complement what Fedora already provides for OpenStack. As for what this means for EPEL: http://openstack.redhat.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_does_RDO_mean_for_OpenStack_for_EPEL.3F Basically this obsoletes/replaces what we previously did in EPEL. The rationale for this is that EPEL absolutely hated it when we pushed new major versions of OpenStack into EPEL previously. RDO improves on this by allowing for multiple parallel streams to be provided, allowing users to pick whichever stream is best for their needs.
