So if I normally mirror rawhide, is the above dir what I would want to change to, to follow f13 devel and where the normal everyday package updates (stable ones I mean suspect?) would happen that are geared for F13? So this dir will also contain the night builds (isos?) as well as the boot.iso/whateverelse images from the /images dir are created here nightly and can be installed from like rawhide used to be during each cycle? > > /pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/13/ will be where potential Fedora 13 > builds go after passing through bodhi as "testing".

So the above dir, would be used like official releases are done, via package updates go to testing first, then when feel stable (or however long it goes), they move to the devel/13 dir in the 1st paragraph? And test images are created here as well? Guess shall try to summarize what is happening to make sure understanding what is happening... 1 - Rawhide dir is same, cept at feature freeze it moves on to the next future fedora version. 2 - Devel Feature Freeze branch (at feature freeze), that stable packages/builds are built each day, for the current version being worked on? And also a testing devel feature freeze branch for testing packages/builds for problems before they hit stable? 3 - Official release branch, currently as is for the officially released versions, to include stable and testing updates. If above is correct or at least if not worded right but I am understanding at least, then have a question or two, but not to argue, but to understand why or the underlying part to it. Why couldn't rawhide just be the stable part and just add a testing dir to it? Do the maintainers multitask that much to work on updates for official releases, develop a new release, and start work on the next release? >From just a user/tester perspective, seems a bit much and too many paths to follow and keep up with. But hey, if you devel guys/maintainers are all bout it, whom I to judge? haha. Anyway, just asking and clarifying (guess you can call this *follow up*) what is going on, in laymen terms?
