There's another reason I'd like to get this done for F8. I'd still really like us to ship 2.6.23 for f8, but with the shorter devel schedule, it's unclear if it's going to land upstream in time. We've shipped -rc's as GA kernels before, but I always felt 'dirty' for doing this (especially when we name them incorrectly). Shipping it with 'rc3' or whatever in the title seems a little more honest at least about what we're shipping, and at the same time, it prevents bad reviewers from writing "Fedora still ships with a 2.6.22 kernel".
Sort of related to this - it's (usually? often?) the case that the shipped kernel is based on a "stable" point release - eg. on this F-7 box, the kernel is based on 2.6.21.2 according to the %changelog, and yet the kernel rpm is kernel-2.6.21-1.3228. Would it not be sensible to also add that last point number? Jonathan. ps. Sorry to Dave for sending this mail to him alone rather than the list pps. Why does this list not set the Reply-To to the list rather than the message sender? _______________________________________________ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
