There you go. :) But, why was Evo so broken? This seems odd. As I mentioned, my previous distro packages pre-releases of GNOME and Evolution, and I run Evolution. I certainly don't think Evolution was broken for a significant period around August-October last year. I feel sure I would've remembered. Perhaps this is a case where, if there were more people running Rawhide - like, fr'instance, whoever packages Evolution - it would've got fixed faster... > I'm confused. > > In your first message you were saying that rawhide is worse than all > other distro's development branches. Now you're saying rawhide isn't > that bad at all? Fair point. I should make that clearer. Broadly I think Rawhide has a much worse reputation than it necessarily deserves, but I also think it probably is *somewhat* more commonly broken than other distros. The objection that this is because Fedora is more bleeding-edge is probably partially valid, but I don't think it's the whole story. I suspect Rawhide is not as bad as many people think it is, and I further suspect it could be even better if more people ran it.
