I'm sorry, i can't agree with you here. Being more aggressive, putting pressure on whatever just to have the latest versions of all the software around in rawhide, sounds to me like we would go and break rawhide a lot. I thought rawhide should be more useful and less broken if i recall the latest threads right. Anyways, exactly that's why i do *not* want anybody can do anything with any package. That's just insane, sorry. -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
