Where it ends? FC is not a good choice for production. Linux is stable, linux dont have to reboot much. Linux can run for years without a reboot. I do not want to upgrade my production machines every 6 months because FC has a new version. Those new versions holds new versions of software. Why cant they build one FC and update/upgrade just the installed versions? And as stated a lot in discussions lists/fora's, upgrading FC versions is not always without errors. > > I suggest to rename the current legacy-updates to legacy-security or > > something like that. > > legacy-updates sounds like just updates of new versions to me like the > > normal repo's also is doing rather then security shit.. > This has been gone over many times, here.

Here a practical "user" example: - Hmm no more updates when i do yum update - lets google - hey a new repo called legacy.. - Ah here i found how to add it to my yum - Nice i get updates again But actualy it are not updates, but fixes/patches. -After some time, he finds out that newer versions are not delivered. -Finds alternate repos like atrpms dag dries livna etc... -doing yum update, "oh look again new versions :)" This is a real example how most of the linux users are doing without read any statement text. Because its not intresting to read :) Danny -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
