As far as "glib, gtk and friends" are concerned, these do not at any symbols in a stable branch, and Fedora release stay on a stable branch, so your snide remarks are uncalled for, as far as these are concerned. And talking about F7 packages on FC5 or FC4 is really detracting from the topic here, which is security updates within a single Fedora release. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
