My guess is you'd have to push those requests upstream (e.g. send them to gnome.org and such). Fedora/Red Hat doesn't write that code, they basically package the upstream items into Fedora or RHEL. Most upgrade requests sent to bugzilla get pushed upstream by the triage people. I doubt FFV53 will be adopted by the Fedora gang if those issues aren't resolved so they'll probably push it upstream anyway, but getting a jump on it can't hurt. You might also check the gnome site to see if they're already working on it and may have a timeline for release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
