My beef was mostly with python-urlgrabber (since that's used by more tools than just yum), but Zdenek managed to get permissions to do upstream releases so current F20/rawhide has been updated and is mostly fine. There's few minor problems and obsolete parts but that can be worked out later... > > dnf is not in a state to replace yum yet, and it will take awhile to get > there, a lot of tool uses yum api and dnf has no stable api yet, so yum > will properly stay here for years to come > so there is no excuses to not make upstream releases more frequent :) I really like relase-early-release-often but for that you need a nice testuite so you don't screw up too badly :-) Now I am wondering how dnf is going to approach testing, regressions etc. It sure would be nice to have a big testuite for such a component. -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Software Engineer - Developer Experience PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
