And another thing... This may be more suited for the -devel list than this one, but here goes as it has to do with the desktop functionality (rather than direct development, though): Is there any plan in place to phase out moves from "current" to Legacy of any Fedora vesion by providing the necessary yum configurations as updates when the Legacy infrastructure is in place to provide the scarse update packages? It'd be nice to have the default configuration automatically replaced with updated repository data, makes migration seamless. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD4vnJXM+XOp70dwoRAjmpAJ9lCg07kvPxlrAoj+Ro/WMz2v/P+wCfWjl5 jv5MMcVxQIF1PQdzueqv/DQ= =/AJw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
