Yeah, I would say we get about 1 person a week or so in #fedora that decided they wanted as many choices as possible, so they enabled every repo file they had installed. I guess it's sometimes more, sometimes less. > Maybe the problem could be solved just by labelling it clearer, > rawhide-development or something. Currently it says: # These packages are untested and still under development. This # repository is used for development of new releases. # # This repository can see significant daily turnover and major # functionality changes which cause unexpected problems with other # development packages. Please use these packages if you want to work # with the Fedora developers by testing these new development packages. # # fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx is available as a discussion forum for # testing and troubleshooting for development packages in conjunction # with new test releases. # # More information is available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Testing # # Reproducible and reportable issues should be filed at # http://bugzilla.redhat.com/. However, the people who enable all repos (including source and debuginfo) aren't the ones who would stop doing that after reading most anything I don't think. They want everything enabled so they can have the most choice/newest stuff, and then are very sad when they find out they have to re-install to go back to the stable release. kevin
