The fix gets delivered in a day. Sure after no regression in the executed 105184 testcases. Contrary to it an upstream fix gets delivered in half a year. Oh, I forgot, Fedora no longer delivers the fix in a day but ... even not in a week. Because I usually create new build during the updates-testing week so the days start to count again. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdb-7.2-7.fc14 Date Submitted: 2010-09-22 This update has been obsoleted by gdb-7.2-12.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdb-7.2-12.fc14 Date Submitted: 2010-09-25 This update has been obsoleted by gdb-7.2-15.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdb-7.2-15.fc14 Date Submitted: 2010-09-27 This update has been obsoleted by gdb-7.2-16.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdb-7.2-16.fc14 Date Submitted: 2010-09-28 2010-10-05 13:15:39 This update has been pushed to stable So it is not 7 days but 13 days in this case. One has to give up on backporting new fixes to ever get any delivered. Regards, Jan -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
