I don't mean to inconvenience you, but it has little value overall. >From a Fedora standpoint, the stable RC windows are far too short to actually do anything with, given that they are typically 2-3 days and we wouldn't submit that as an update in bodhi anyway. I would think building them in the vanilla repo would run into similar issues, in that by the time it was built and anyone tried it, the stable release was imminent. I can see utility for someone wishing to try an RC by themselves to test a fix or something, but at that point a user might get more value by building from git+stable queue. Then they can also stop building the 8000 drivers they don't need, and their testing and turn around becomes much faster. That also allows them to interact with the upstream stable maintainers more easily. I really appreciate the vanilla repos, so hopefully this isn't a huge issue for you. I'd like to see those continue on as you find time, etc. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
