No, it means that updating gnome would mean updating a bunch of libraries that are used by other apps. This would require a lot of rebuilds, and they might fail due to a number of reasons. Upgrading the desktop is potentially a big operation. I am very happy with the release scheme that is used with Gnome, OpenOffice, GCC and so on. If you want the newest and shiniest, use the newest release of Fedora. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
