Having looked at the way releasing packages and versions in linux has been moving in a number of distributions it is interesting that there are several that now have a rolling-release model. Three of these are: Debian CUT: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/debian-cut-a-new-rolling-release/ http://cut.debian.net/ Opensuse Tumbleweed: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed Arch Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux Gentoo is also essentially a rolling release distribution. Fedora would appear to be out of line in not taking on board the potential user base for a rolling release version. For servers there would be huge advantages in management of systems. Is there any support at all within the development community for a rolling release version of Fedora (and possibly ulitimately Redhat)? Is there a possibility that not moving to rolling release could ultimately damage Fedora in the future as other distributions increase their support base? I thought this might lead to a useful discussion and this post is not supposed to be a flame bait but a genuine question that is potentially quite fundamental to the future of Fedora. Applying innovative and careful thought to this question might be helpful to the Fedora project as a whole. -- mike c -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
