Yes. And that is 0.001% of the package updates. In fact, skip the noise of pushing that as an update, wait until something interesting happens to roll it out. There is no gain in rolling an rpm everytime. And there is a cost -- in many "cheap" resources (bandwidth, cpu burn in builders), and in costly resources, like review time of your downstreams if they care about their QA. > But #3 is not a sterling example > of an axiom #3 is correct for 99.9% of the worthwhile package updates. Don't call it an axiom if it bothers you to be unfair to a tiny portion of updates. But is a damn important point that is central to what a distro is. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
